It's always fun to see space through young students' perspectives! Check out these pieces of art from 3rd graders near Las Cruces. They were created as part of the @lc_space, which was supported by the Challenger Learning Center of Las Cruces. https://t.co/jioPDnceKl

Our mothership, VMS Eve, will be conducting a flight from Spaceport America, New Mexico, today and another tomorrow. Today’s pilots will be CJ Sturckow and Dave Mackay. They will be using VMS Eve to simulate SpaceShipTwo Unity’s glide and approach-to-land phase.

Did you know? Our partners at White Sands Missile Range have launched more objects to space than any other launch facility in the country? We share 6,000 sq. miles of restricted air space with WSMR. #WSMR #SpaceportAmerica #TheSpaceToBe
