🇪🇸During my trip to Spain, I was deeply moved to visit ESA's Cebreros ground station and personally thank the emergency responders, public authorities and local communities who worked tirelessly to protect lives, livelihoods and communities during this summer's devastating wildfires that stretched across Spain. For more than 20 years, ESA has been part of the Cebreros community, with many of our colleagues living and raising their families in the surrounding area while helping connect Europe with spacecraft exploring the Solar System millions of kilometres away. When the fires threatened both the station and nearby communities, it became a deeply personal emergency for many of them. Their courage, together with the dedication of the emergency responders, public authorities and civilians who stood on the front line of the crisis, reminds us that the ultimate purpose of all our efforts, whether on Earth or in space, is to serve and protect humanity. On behalf of @ESA and its Member States, I thank you all for your service.
