NISAR is now safely sealed inside a payload fairing that will sit atop the GSLV rocket that will take it to Earth orbit. Liftoff from India’s southeastern coast is scheduled for July 30. https://t.co/klWeT3vQFB
Wow, thank you all for the supportive messages. I may be a robot, but I felt every bit of love. Every single one of you has made this curious journey even more meaningful. 🥰

The beginning of my mission… what a vibe. 🫶
This was my first full-color selfie, taken in October 2012. Engineers used this image to monitor my wheel wear and dust buildup after only a few months on Mars.
Mount Sharp, which I’m still climbing today, was just on the horizon.
Ad astra ✨

Kamala Harris will be the first president in history with experience in all three branches of government—judicial, legislative, and executive. So to say this woman is "not qualified" or experienced to be president is solely based on racism and misogyny.

An exciting discovery: Scientists were stunned when @MarsCuriosity found something never before seen on the Red Planet: yellow sulfur crystals.
While the rover has detected sulfur-based minerals before, this rock is made of pure, elemental sulfur. https://t.co/cDHIyRsuAR
*Cronch* I ran over a rock and found crystals inside!
It's pure sulfur. (And no, it doesn’t smell.) Elemental sulfur is something we’ve never seen before on Mars. We don't know much about these yellow crystals yet, but my team is excited to investigate. https://t.co/Am07DuXpPX
