Are we there yet? 😜 After eight years in space, Bepi and Mio can finally say: almost there! Send them a #WelcomeToMercury message and you could win a trip to ESA in Darmstadt, Germany, this December. Say hello 👇 esa.int/WelcomeToMercury 🔭

For the second fiscal year in a row, NASA awarded ~20% fewer grants than the recent historical average. That's about 500 fewer grants going out to scientists around the country.
