We hosted @billyhix , retired NASA engineer and globally recognized astronomy educator, who brought his incredible portable planetarium! Thank you @theTSIN for making this possible!

@Rainmaker1973 Uranus is about 2.5 hour hours away! Voyager 1 is between 22 and 23 light hours away!! That make is even more amazing!!!!

@VoteGloriaJ Thank you for standing up for all - and hope you will stay safe! In my retirement, I take my planetarium to schools (for free) but in today's world, I have been threatened by church members for teaching falsehoods. This murder is due to hate being glorified by the GOP.

@UnrealBluegrass Thank you for posting - it is the first time in several months that I have hope for my little grandsons - maybe our country isn't finished yet. Maybe there will be enough of care and are educated to save us all. Thanks again for posting!!!

@LakotaMan1 I am real - I live in an area where 78% voted from Trump - I am a retired astronomy researcher and live here due to the fact that my 3 little grandsons live here - but it is a sad place to live. Thankful for what you have to say

@poppy_northcutt I dreamed of what was going on after splashdown. Watching this mission change my life and career. Thank you for sharing

[Billy Hix @billyhix]

@NC5_LelanStatom @NC5_BreeSmith Happy birthday. Thank you for what you do for all of us

[Billy Hix @billyhix]

@poppy_northcutt Thank you for sharing your history!!! Christmas eve 1968 changed my life and my career - as a farm boy who longed to leave, watching the moon pass by made me think I could do anything. Thank you for all that you have done - with you and the team, I would still be farming.

@carlsagandotcom He would be so disappointed in the world we have become. I was fearful, but hopeful... but we fell short of any positive vision.

@contactlight69 There was a time when we dared great things and had a plan to accomplish them! I was so inthralled by each mission even while living in a rural location were most thought it was a waste. I ended up working at NASA - I love seeing your post - they make me smile!
