Congrats to @NASA on #OSIRISREx! Our 2011 press release on selection said it would... "provide the knowledge that will guide humanity in deflecting any future asteroid that could collide with Earth, allowing humanity to avoid the fate of the dinosaurs." Worth the 12 year wait!

Congratulations @AstroVicGlover!!! It's an amazing day to be a @CalPoly Mustang!

Our #Artemis II pilot is @AstroVicGlover!

Victor Glover is part of our 2013 class of @NASA_Astronauts and was the pilot for NASA’s @SpaceX Crew-1 mission. He’s logged 3,000 flight hours in more than 40 different aircraft, and will pilot @NASA_Orion around the Moon.

Northern lights over Virginia's Shenandoah Valley last night. Towering pillars and vivid colors were visible for a few unforgettable moments.

An inspiration to countless girls, Dr. Kalpana Chawla was the first woman of Indian descent to go to space, a pilot, and an aerospace engineer. Chawla is pictured here on STS-107 in January 2003, two weeks before she and her crewmates perished during re-entry. #NASARemembers

Los satélites usan sistemas similares para reorientarse en los 3 ejes pitch, yaw, roll (elevación, dirección, alabeo). Lo interesante es que se logra con sistemas puramente eléctricos mediante recargar las baterías con el sol y sin gastar combustible.

The Moon Colony kit is a collaboration between @NASA, @WhiteHouse National Space Council, and @AstroSapiensF.
There are only 1,000 available and over half have been claimed. Tag an eligible educator so they can grab theirs 🌔

Was there once life on Mars? @NASAPersevere’s latest samples could hold clues to answering this question.

Further analysis on Earth is needed to confirm, but one thing is sure – Perseverance has succeeded in capturing the rich samples we hoped for: https://t.co/D6VlYQWeLi

So - there's the rocket you though you designed, and the rocket you actually built. It takes a while to learn how the rocket you actually built works. A few more wet dress rehearsals masquerading as launch attempts may be in the cards.

We are ready. 🚀

The uncrewed #Artemis I mission around the Moon will pave the way for future astronauts. The Artemis Generation is about to leave its mark.

@gbrammer TIL that when imaged by JWST, we discover that perfectly normal-looking galaxies are actually churning whirlpools of Eldritch Hell.
