With #Artemis II splashdown in the books. I wanted to share a memory from 14 years ago. What you see here is my view of the Orion capsule drop test performed on November 8th, 2011 at Langley Research Center in Virginia. I was invited to come as part of a #NASASocial program.

if the #NASAsocial folks haven’t secretly arranged for a reconditioned #Hasselblad 500EL camera ( #Apollo-flown if possible) loaded with actual film to be on board #Orion for the #ArtemisII mission to snap an “ #Earthrise II” image I’ll be quite disappointed 🛰️📷🌖🌏

for any #NASA folks still monitoring the #NASAsocial hashtag, please please PLEASE:
– make it SOP to put up a super simple straightforward one-page mission timeline that has every significant mission event with a built-in TZ converter so folks playing along at home can set their local time zone & get accurate updated timings 🙏
– make it as low-tech as you can – mostly text, minimal “fancy” crap (JS, WebGL, user-tracking frameworks 🤮, etc.)
– link to it prominently at / near the top of the mission homepage, maybe with a handy “Next up: $MissionEventName” label as well
– publish an iCal feed that folks can either subscribe to or download^
– update the timings as they slip or advance as best you can (and have a single source of truth that’s used to update both the mission timings page & the iCal feed, obvs.)
– yes, I’m def open to a fully-remote position on your #SciComms team so long as I can mostly work UTC+10ish-friendly hours 😜
#kthxbai
^ and then also maintain a canonical page with all your mission iCal feeds in one place – something like nasa[.]gov/SpaceNerds/MissionData/feeds/iCal/ would be appropriate 😜 -
Space News
Hearing about the sad loss of contact with the MAVEN spacecraft reminded me that following my visit to KSC to see the launch, I made a 45 minute video about my amazing experience.
Meeting such an amazing group of space enthusiasts was something that evoked an emotion that has never left me, and I will be with me for the rest of my life. You feel passion, joy and a very strong bond with these people.
If you have 45 minutes free, I invite you to watch "What is a NASA Social", by me G7IZU. Throughout the video I insert tweets from the group as they occurred in "realtime". For non-UK viewers, the occasional appearance of a small yellow stuffed bear is related to a live charity TV programme made every November by my employer (BBC) called Children In Need. The bear, Pudsey, is its mascot.

Applications are open to watch our Artemis II crew begin their journey around the Moon! We’re looking for digital creators to attend our #NASASocial at @NASAKennedy for the first crewed Artemis launch. Apply by Monday, Nov. 24: go.nasa.gov/47R5ZR3 -
#NASA announced applications open for the #NASASocial for #SpaceX #Crew11 launch to #ISS. Current schedule is no earlier than July. If accepted, you #travel at your own cost to Florida, but get a one-time press pass to do #SocialMedia news coverage, good for all attempts to launch that rocket. To have a chance of being accepted, you must have followers - the point is to augment the coverage of generalist news media with #space enthusiasts. Apply by April 28. https://www.nasa.gov/social-media/nasa-socials-program/experience-the-launch-of-nasas-spacex-crew-11-mission/ #spacegeek

"The hidden story behind one of SpaceX’s wettest and wildest launches" by @ArsTechnica/@SciGuySpace - 10 years ago today, #NASA #CRS3 launch to #ISS caused questions about dirt splashed on rocket. (I was there with #NASASocial.) https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/04/the-hidden-story-behind-one-of-spacexs-wettest-and-wildest-launches/ #NewSpace #SpaceX #Falcon9

I'm happy to see that @MikeSeeley took up my invitation/suggestion to post his awesome rocket launch photos also on Mastodon. Give him a follow.
I met Mike 10 years ago this month at the #NASASocial event for the SpaceX CRS-3 cargo launch to the International Space Station. Since Mike lives in the Cape Canaveral area, he kept going back for more launch pics. He's an excellent photographer and fellow #spacegeek sharing his experience with us. #NASA #space

I am really looking foward to the launch of the baby shuttle.

In 2014 when I attended a #NASASocial to cover #SpaceX #CRS3 #CargoDragon launch to #ISS, #NASA gave a tour of the Vehicle Assembly Building. There's an #STS107 sign on the wall where recovered parts from Columbia were stored after the investigation. #DayOfRemembrance #space #history

So exciting that the X-59 is going to be flying soon! Can’t wait for the breakthrough that a return to supersonic travel could be. #xplane #NASA #nasasocial

When you apply for a #NASASocial social media press pass, set expectations appropriately...
* You pay for your travel to Florida for the launch.
* Rocket launch schedules can and often do change.
In 2014 I made 3 trips to Florida to cover #CRS3 cargo launch to ISS. My pic: -
#NASA announced #NASASocial for #SpaceX #Crew8 launch. If you have enough #SocialMedia following/audience, apply for a @NASASocial one-time press pass at Kennedy Space Center to cover all launch attempts for Crew-8 to ISS.

@jcrab Sweet! I didn’t know they made that. I met one of the guys behind that company a few years ago at a #nasasocial event. Their coffee was being sent to the space station on a cargo resupply launch!

The #NASA #Artemis1 rocket 🚀 is en route to its launchpad 39B. Expected launch is Nov 14 @ 12:07am ET. This person free launch will test the rocket system #NASA hopes to use to send humanity back to the 🌕 and onwards to Mars.
Fun fact - I stood on launchpad 39B just before my birthday 2020 when participating in a #NASASocial for CRS-20 resupply mission.
#Space is dope y’all.
