@CivilAirPatrol the #CAPNC20 has been great in showing what can be done when faced with challenges. @BjComedy was a fantastic choice for host along with all the great opportunities! Thanks for such a great program this year that opened it up to so many.

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

Congratulations to @SpaceX for making #LaunchAmerica happen today with @NASA. It's a great day for #America getting back into #space. Inspiring the next generation of #astronauts for #STEM. #STEMeducation #aerospace

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

Good perspective...

#LaunchAmerica

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

@Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken again, thank you for leading and inspiring the next generation with #LaunchAmerica along with @NASA and @SpaceX. Along with @CAPaerospace we wish you the best on this historic flight from @NASAKennedy.

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

For those wondering about the idea of an instantaneous launch, beyond the weather side, check out @NASA's intro to orbital mechanics to understand why the next opportunity is on May 30th. Hope you'll join us in watching it!

Good call by @NASA and @SpaceX today to keep @Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken safe today. @CAPaerospace incorporates decision making like that into what we train future aviators and astronauts on.

Good luck for Saturday's launch window and we look forward to cheering it on.

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

@Astro_Doug and @AstroBehnken from @RMRCAP, enjoy the ride from @SpaceX at @NASAKennedy. We're all watching as you inspire the next generation to follow you in to #space. Thanks for leading the way back. #LaunchAmerica #STEMeducation

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

@NASA for your poll, if we had the chance to travel into #space, we'd definitely take it. Orbit, the Moon, Mars...it all works for us.

#LaunchAmerica #LaunchDay @CAPaerospace

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

We're excited about today with #LaunchAmerica from @NASAKennedy. If you're looking for ways to watch America's return to space, whether online or streaming at home, check out the options in the article.

Our thoughts go with the astronauts as they fly.

Exciting event you can do from home...the Lyrid Meteor shower will hit it's peak tonight and we're close to a new moon, so the sky should be sufficiently dark throughout @RMRCAP to see it.

Here's a link from https://t.co/W9cbxOMz3g with more details: https://t.co/f5c3Nef8pm

Congrats to the new lieutenants from @AF_Academy who join the active duty @usairforce and @SpaceForceDoD today in @CityofCOS!

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

For @RMRCAP @CivilAirPatrol members, if you're a #family looking for projects with #schoolclosure in @UtahWingCAP @MontanaWingCAP @ColoradoWingCAP @IdahoWingCAP and #Wyoming, we'll be posting #STEM projects here.

Today in History:
27 January 1967 Astronauts Grissom, Chafee and White were killed in Apollo 1 fire.

On this day in 2002, Boeing's 737, the world's most widely use twin jet, becomes the first jetliner in history to amass more than 100 million flying hours.

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

The RMR AE team is saddened to hear about the losses occurring in the aviation community.

Our heartfelt condolences go to the @usairforce, @USNavy, and @USMC families that have suffered loss in and out of combat in addition to the coverage of the tragic event in #California.

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

Part of #aviation and #aerospace is the #weather. Even though we understand a lot about it, through #STEM we're learning more about how it works and changes with different events.

Check out @NASA on how the #AustralianFires are impacting everyone.

[NASA @NASA]

Smoke from the Australian bushfires is making its way around the 🌎, interacting with global weather & distributing aerosols—UV-absorbing particles in the air—along the way.

Aerosols by color:
orange: dust
blue: sea salt
pink: nitrates
red: carbonaceous

Are you interested in #aviation and #STEM? @RMRCAP has #aerospace programs for #teachers, #teens, and the community.

If you're a #teacher, check out our Aerospace Education Membership...only $35 and you get access to all of our materials and support.

Thanks to @CAPaerospace for posting it earlier.

One #aviation question that comes up a lot for older #Cadets and our #Seniors, is how can they work in the industry? Even people who want a 2nd career ask.

This is one of those ways.

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

@CivilAirPatrol is a diverse organization in many ways. One of best parts of it is the skill sets of our members.

For those in @RMRCAP who work in #STEM and want to do outreach, @NASA has an opportunity for you. Check it out!

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

Part of #STEM for #space is learning where the limits are. If you're able to watch @NASA's abort test, this will be a good opportunity to see it in practice.

@RMRCAP @NERegionCAP @CAPaerospace

[NASA @NASA]

We are “go” for launch! 🚀

Tune in to NASA TV starting at 1pm ET to get the latest update from experts about tomorrow’s In-Flight Abort Test of @SpaceX’s #CrewDragon: https://t.co/z1RgZwQkWS

[Rocky Mountain Region Aerospace Education @RMR_AE]

For @RMRCAP members throughout @UtahWingCAP @ColoradoWingCAP @IdahoWingCAP @MontanaWingCAP and #WyomingWing...if you're interested in working in #aerospace #history, this is the opportunity for you.

Chances like this only happen once a year...
