@ChesapeakeRoads forget that. I see that you just posted the update! Thanks for that :)

@ChesapeakeRoads When is the weekend work for the Gilmerton going to end? I thought they said it was going to be six weekends, but I'm pretty sure we are at eight now???

@starstryder Kerbal Space Program & For all Mankind. I'd call it "A Space Program For all Kerbal-kind"

[NASA @NASA]

✅ Milestone achieved. @NASAWebb is safely in space, powered on, and communicating with ground controllers.

The space telescope is now on its way to #UnfoldTheUniverse at its final destination one million miles (1.5 million km) away from Earth.

@jobyaviation @EricAdams321 @AviationWeek Wow! That is STUNNING!

@ChesapeakeRoads The failure actually happened around 5:45. I know b/c I was in line, close to the bridge, but not close enough to see what was going on. At 6:15 people started making U-turns. The Gilm. Bridge really should have its own twitter acct where they could notify a lot quicker.

@BadAstronomer That's HUUUUUGGGE!! Since the gov moves at the speed of... gov, we should probably start thinking about the @NASAWebb successor. I am so ready for her to launch!

@astronoleb @SciGuySpace That hurts so bad.

@AwesomeCon what were some of the other works/shows that @donttrythis talked Abt yesterday? Russia tent mystery, for one.

@ChesapeakeRoads The Gilmerton bridge really should have its own twitter acct. They could post all openings and durations, malfunctions, accidents, whatever.

@AwesomeCon , when is the mobile app going to be released? I'm mad at you because you have too much great programming at the same time! I can never decide what I want to see! I guess this is a good "problem" to have :)

@NickAstronomer TIL that NASA still gives out Silver Snoopys (two this year, in fact) and that there is a database for recipients. Cool!!!

@AwesomeCon Excited to be attending my (and my daughter's) Third AwesomeCon in a couple of weeks. Glad to see that face masks are required for everyone. Be safe, everyone!

@torybruno Meh... I think they'll give you a pass! Thanks for the cool shot :)

Never step on a LEGO brick again! SmartBricks, coming soon...

This image of the Moon is the result of combining approximately 1000 exposures taken with my telescope during different phases to show the full depth of its mountains and craters. One of my most detailed images yet!

@NickAstronomer Some will say "I thought we already knew there was life on Mars". Some will wonder why none of the people already living on Mars weren't the first ones to discover it. Many will ask why are we spending money there. The rest will be awed!

Hello, world. My first look at my forever home. #CountdownToMars

@Nrflkcollegiate Way to go, Colin!!!

[SpaceCampUSA @SpaceCampUSA]

Together, we met our initial goal of $1.5 million raised to #SaveSpaceCamp! This minimum amount raised will ensure that the Rocket Center will remain open to prepare for our Spring 2021 Space Camp season! Now let’s make sure it continues to thrive. https://t.co/SB9EykZudp
