NASA before: 50% of my budget is dedicated to science ed and public outreach. Also, by law of the USA, everything I do is instantly public domain.

ESA before: i keep all my data private forever, unless NASA forces me to publish it.

NASA now: shadow of private space corps.

ESA now: hey, look, I’m not SpaceX!

Edit: I want to know more about esa before i jump in the hype train.
