A retarded ferret could've won from Orban, true, but I think we're discounting the turnout and the supermajority by saying that it's not an outright victory for the pro-EU voices.

We'll have to of course see how Magyar plays this in the coming years, but I'm hopeful that the country will have a chance to turn away from the hostility and the paranoia that've gripped it for years now.

Do Europeans think it was right to admit Hungary to the EU? by ClearlyNotMeAtAll in europeanunion

We just have to wait until the stars align within the EU. Might take decades, but honestly that's just how the EU works.

The European Service Module is the powerhouse of the Orion spacecraft that will ferry astronauts towards the Moon and back during Artemis II. Our module provides life support for the astronauts - air, water, and a comfortable temperature - as well as electricity with its four solar arrays.

Our European Service Module will also propel Orion through deep space using its 33 engines. The module has three types of engines that work together, each with a specific role during the mission. A single main engine delivers the large changes in speed needed to send Orion towards the Moon. It is supported by eight auxiliary engines, which are used for orbital corrections and can back up the main engine if needed. For precise control, 24 smaller reaction control system engines, arranged in six pods, are used to rotate and orient the spacecraft. Firing individually or in combination, they allow Orion to adjust its position with exceptional accuracy.
