why not french ?

[davidgruty]

why do they do the countdown in french language??

[GRSG]

@davidgruty Because it's a French launch facility in French Guyana

[davidgruty]

@GRSG everyone there is french??

I thought ESA language is always english (I understood there are several official languages, but in fact, they always speak in English)

[GRSG]

@davidgruty It's because even though it's an ESA station, the company launching the system is Arianespace which is definitely French (I think, I'd need to check the company shareholding documents to tell you who are the main shareholders)

Over the roar of engines RD107/108 past cloud 7-S / angel Aloysius, Glushko and Korolev sighted at joint action / heavy rain of empty vodka glasses registered in free fall
