I have to start writing down the funny ways mechanics describe car problems and characteristics.

My husband, so disappointed, just said,
“The ass has gone soft again.”

Our Moon rover is more than 80% built!

How do we ensure it will survive launch, landing, and the challenging environment of the Moon’s South Pole? Get the latest from the VIPER mission manager: https://t.co/7vxthQYd4g

NASA employees at Johnson Space Center gathered to watch @Int_Machines land on the Moon carrying @NASA science and technology along with it as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative.

Behind some vanity plates that say a version of “fake news” with a Northwestern alumni frame. Northwestern?🤦🏻‍♀️

We don’t talk about the pain of white balancing 80% of a shoot before you realize you’re wearing blue blockers enough

[Helen Masayo Arase (Vargas) @HelenArase]

Finally, a cool work thing! @Boeing flew me out to hang with the 787s for photo support. Maybe we’ll even see my work if it gets published in the future. A totally different vibe than the satellite plant & cool to see another manufacturing arm ✈️🛰️🚀📸
