euesa1-1, Exercise 2: Record, publicity or memory

Model answer:

(a) ESA is headquartered in Paris: record. It can be checked in the agency's own documents and reference works.
(b) A press release calls a mission "a triumph for Europe": publicity. It may be true in part, but it is the agency's own description, and the facts (schedule, cost, results) should be checked separately.
(c) Your recollection of watching a launch on television: memory. Good for atmosphere, but the year, the mission and even whether it was European may be wrong.
