Whoa. 🤯 Y'all seeing this?
@NASA_Orion, designed and built by us, snapped this selfie using the camera on one of the solar array wings IN DEEP SPACE WHILE FLYING TO THE MOON! 🌖
@MorganKainu The University of Colorado Boulder has a aerospace engineering graduate program focused on bioastronautics. That how I got my start in human factors.
Jeffco Fairgrounds is now accepting large animal evacuations for those affected by the Marshal/Middle Fork Fires.

So exciting watching @astro_kimbrough spacewalking today. Still remember your visit to @SierraSpaceCo for a crew demo of our Dream Chaser spaceplane! Stay safe up there!
Update: Ground teams are working a technical issue with @Astro_Kimbrough’s spacesuit causing the spacewalking duo to take a pause from releasing the ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (iROSAs) from their carrier.

If you do one thing today, on Juneteenth, do this:
Watch the 2016 movie titled “13th” on Netflix.
Watch the whole thing. Watch it for all the Black Americans in this country, for the innocent kids killed in the streets and the 2 million sleeping in prison cells tonight.
The Shooting Star Transport Vehicle for SNC’s Dream Chaser® spaceplane has arrived at our facility in Louisville, CO! Shooting Star attaches to Dream Chaser & carries an additional 10,000lbs of cargo to the @Space_Station. Read more about it here: https://t.co/CdFkeXkk5Z
We had a very successful demonstration with @NASA! Now, we have a better idea how to design our vehicle & conduct operations to best meet the needs of the @NASA_Astronauts on board. Thanks for following along!
Carson again! As a human systems engineer, I work to keep the crew safe & working productively as they perform tasks inside the Dream Chaser® spaceplane like opening hatches & stowing cargo. Here @NASA_Astronauts@Astro_Kimbrough & Frank Rubio open a panel to stow cargo.
I love getting to do hands on work for my job! Building a spaceplane is a huge collaboration, here you can see me working with SNC and NASA team memebers
Carson here! I’m taking measurements of the illumination produced by the internal lights using a light meter to facilitate communication between SNC & @NASA. This area is considered a workstation & must be lit well enough so a crew member can read, write & perform science.
Hi! Liz & Carson here, we're taking over SNC’s social accounts today! Last month we hosted @NASA_Astronauts for a demo inside our Dream Chaser® spaceplane mockup. They tested interior lighting while practicing tasks they’ll conduct when the spaceplane arrives at @Space_Station.
The president’s statements this morning encourage illegal and dangerous acts. He is putting millions of people in danger of contracting COVID-19.
His unhinged rantings and calls for people to “liberate” states could also lead to violence. We’ve seen it before. 1/7

5 jobs I had before becoming a graduate student:
*Babysitter
*Cake decorator/entrepreneur 🎂
*Waitress at local pizza restaurant
*Biological design intern @space_tango
*Resident advisor
Each one taught me invaluable lessons to make me the person I am today!
After 4.5 hours of heart wrenching testimonials from community members, scientific evidence presented by veterinarians, and passionate appeals from animal shelter workers and animal… https://t.co/aCwFlxu0nD
Impostor syndrome often comes from confusing who we are with what we can do right now.
Opportunities can come to us because someone else sees who we are and what we are capable of, and we will think we don’t belong there if we only see what we can do right now.
“We found that there are a large number of very highly qualified women in the United States that can make the qualifications that we set out as astronauts.”
