@sondy Try a place called Flower Child. You might like the food and you can eat outside. I’d be happy to join you for lunch. Email me if you want to get lunch.

Loved being back in person at the ⁦@FRCTeams⁩ CO Regional. Awesome seeing so many friends from teams across the mountain west. Always proud to represent @team1619. #walklikewoodie #morethanrobots

@startorialist @MuonSpace I have an idea for Earth and small satellite earrings -- like we did for Lucy. I'll be in touch.

[Cathy Olkin @colkin]

I am happy to share that started a new job @MuonSpace! I had a great run at SwRI and loved exploring the outer solar system with all my awesome friends. Excited to turn my focus to providing data about Earth to inform decisions in the face of climate change.

[Cathy Olkin @colkin]

@AllPlanets @MuonSpace Not moving, but I'll visit regularly! I'll look you up.

[Cathy Olkin @colkin]

Had a great visit to ⁦@LowellObs⁩ this weekend. Got to see the excellent Lowell Discovery Telescope.

[Cathy Olkin @colkin]

@Flagstaff365 @OrpheumFlag @LowellObs Looking forward to an interesting discussion tonight about exploration @OrpheumFlag and seeing friends from @LowellObs

@LucyMission The spacecraft is also at its furthest from the Sun yet and won't get farther away again until the end of this year. But first, it's time to get closer to the Sun. Meanwhile, @LucyMission is still getting further away from the Earth.

[Raphael Marschall @SpaceMarschall]

Lucy is currently on a one year orbit that will bring it back to Earth for a first gravity assist (EGA1) on October 16 this year. EGA1 will increase @LucyMission orbital period to two years.

[Cathy Olkin @colkin]

@cosmoquestX @SwRI I am looking forward to talking with you today, but I still haven't received the link to join the conversation.

[Cathy Olkin @colkin]

@dpentecost That visit to the East Side Girls Club was super fun. Hoping to go back some time to visit again!

[Cathy Olkin @colkin]

Want to hear a story about fixing problems with spacecraft when it is 4.5 light hours away?!? This week on @themoth radio hour you can hear what happened on @NASANewHorizons 10 days before getting to Pluto.
