Did you know? #colorado is home to the 2nd biggest #aerospace economy in the US. #newspace

Seems LM has enabled calculation for the airspeed velocity of an unladen elk. Too fun!

[Lockheed Martin Space @LMSpace]

After our successful inflatable habitat burst test at our Waterton campus in Colorado, which is well-known for its elk population, we reviewed the footage and noticed that our stuffed elk mascot got a little too close for comfort... 💥 🎥 🦌

How awesome to see such excitement within the family. 👍🚀

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

@GilmourAdam Very awesome! Or if I recall my Aussie correctly, “good on ya!” Proud to watch your team move space exploration ahead.

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

Seriously? “How does #CrewDragon compare to the space shuttle?” Guess that’s a politician for you. Like comparing a Tesla with a Mac truck...#spaceX

[Sean Casey @scasey1960]

The entire NewSpace industry rejoices in the accomplishments of the SpaceX team and its leadership. A mere $4B of investor dollar and a ton of sweat have revolutionized space travel in the 21st century. #SpaceX

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

Well done, Zeb & team. Was good to see some familiar faces in FCR1 and equally good to see a lot of new ones. 🚀

[Zebulon Scoville @Explorer_Flight]

Flag... captured. Congrats to an amazing team, country, and human race. #LaunchedAmerica

@ICYprop An appropriate ode to OV105 ;)

A.K.A, hold on those “status meetings”. They’re better saved as an email between relevant stakeholders.

[Harvard Business Review @HarvardBiz]

There are four broad reasons to hold meetings: to influence others, to make decisions, to solve problems, or to strengthen relationships. These are all active processes, so passive participation in meetings doesn't really work. https://t.co/EmzkPQ0vHX

@GilmourAdam About 64,000kg to LEO and, more importantly, in the neighborhood of 20,000kg to the moon, right? Pretty sure the senator asking the question doesn’t exactly understand those capabilities ;). When can we look forward to your next launch?

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

Tremor has the right idea...hide out on #CrewDragon until the policitcal dog & pony show of a welcome ceremony wraps up. 🤦‍♂️ #SpaceX #ISS

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

Big congrats to #SpaceX & #NASA. Well done @AstroBehnken & @Astro_Doug! I bet @AstroKarenN & Megan are cheering excitedly for you as we all are.

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

And welcome aboard @AstroBehnken!

PPRV ISO Valve - Positive Pressure Relief Isolation Valve. The first valve in a series of two to vent excess pressure if needed. #SpaceX #CrewDragon

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

Appears #CrewDragon still has some ECLS configuration to complete before the big fanfare. Not sharp on their systems or the new procedures, but looked like some ducting config going on. #SpaceX #ISS

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

@tictoon @NASA ...and why Gravity was a horrible depiction of the real complexities of spaceflight 😉

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

Hatch opening underway between #ISS and #CrewDragon. Expecting lots of celebration in the welcome ceremony. #SpaceX

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

Waiting for Doug & Bob to make their grand entrance on ISS. Looks like Chris is ready to welcome you aboard. #SpaceX #DM2

[James E Johnson @explorer_james]

@SANSANHACHI Right is still ISS. In the PMA (Pressurized Mating Adapter). 😉

Dear @Google may we work on better translation for your Translate tool? Have a feeling these alerts have less to do with magic sewing pipes and more with #COVID2019. Pretty critical. #Korea #coronavirus #COVID

@SenShelby @JimBridenstine @NASA @NASA_Marshall Like retain jobs for when folks sober up and demand killing SLS? #ShelbyLaborSystem
