There really is no place like space! 🚀 I’m so excited to see that our bold plans for the George Mason University Space Center have received Grand Challenge Initiative funding! Now onward to bring the center to life and fruition! 🛰️🪐🔭
.@GeorgeMasonU is investing in the future. 7️⃣ new Grand Challenge Initiative catalyst projects and the launch of the Grand Challenge Research Exchange are accelerating solutions in AI, climate, space, and more! #AllTogetherDifferent#MasonNation https://t.co/Q1ywtfdt6m
Today during a naming event in Manassas, Virginia, @GeorgeMasonU, @pwcgov, and the City of Manassas officially unveiled Nexus234 Innovation District, marking a milestone that has been decades in the making! #AllTogetherDifferent#MasonNation 💚💛 https://t.co/xBTuWriviy
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is in final preparations for an early September launch, eight months AHEAD of schedule and UNDER budget.
This milestone is the result of more than a decade of dedication and millions of hours of work by NASA and our industry partners. Their commitment is what’s making this moment possible and helping drive Gold Standard Science.
Roman will help answer some of the biggest questions in science, investigating dark matter, dark energy, and the structure of the universe. Its images will be so large and detailed, there isn’t a screen in existence big enough to display them.
This is just the beginning.
“You can see the surface of the Moon…we just went sci-fi.”
On flight day seven, images from our @NASAArtemis II crew amazed, turning science fiction to reality. From the lunar far side to a solar eclipse from the Moon, the views are EVERYTHING. No pressure to pick a favorite.
This is a truly incredible shot, especially given that the NASA live feed chose to show video of the cheering crowd right at the exact moment of solid rocket booster separation…
