The amazing folks at Michoud Assembly Facility rolled the 1st SLS core out for it's maiden voyage on the Pegasus barge bound for Stennis Space Center. There it will complete a test shakedown known as Green Run. Hats off to the amazing Boeing and NASA team who made it happen!
Your gut has an entire nervous system of its own with ~500 million neurons in it!
Thatโs nearly 5x as many neurons as you have in your spinal cord, all working hard just so we can ๐ฉ
I canโt wait for @EuropaClipper to get to Europa and I canโt wait even more to see what lurks beneath the ice, and itโs amazing to work at a place where others feel the same way
"mom, who was the first woman to travel to the moon?"
"Well, she won a dating contest..."
is *not* the answer I want to give.
Not against the concept in general, but firsts are special. History remembers them. I need this one to be done right.
I want the first woman to go to the moon not because sheโs a contestant on some elaborately expensive dating show but because she deserves to experience what all the men have experienced. Because she is a qualified engineer or scientist or simply more than a sexual prospect.
@starstrickenSF That's awesome! Congratulations. ๐
May I use your experience here as a story when talking to kids about STEM stuff to illustrate how awesome it can be when you are the 1st person in all of humanity to know something? Something I like to do, but this is a great concrete example
