"This is the oldest thing you will ever hold."
- Jamie Elsia Cook, astrochemistry research scientist
(She estimated this meteorite was approximately 4 billion years old.)

For the first time ever, all 10 NASA field centers participated in a multi-center NASA Social event Dec. 3, previewing the Dec. 4 first flight of the Orion Spacecraft on Exploration Flight Test-1.
Goddard hosted up to 25 social media followers to attend an afternoon celebrating the Orion launch. Attendees toured the Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory, where Martian meteorites and other samples are tested to answer two of the biggest mysteries facing humanity: How did we get here? And are we alone? We'll also tour Goddard's massive Integration and Testing Facility, where spacecraft are built and tested and the world's largest cleanroom where the James Webb Space Telescope is being constructed. Webb is the scientific successor to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. It will be the most powerful space telescope ever built.
NASA Glenn's Tim Wardlaw gave the Social participants a tour of the brand new Mission Integration Center, an environmentally efficient new building.
The NASA Social centered on the upcoming GPM Mission. The event was partially tied to the D.C. Cherry Blossom Festival, which honors a gift of cherry trees to the U.S. from Japan.

Somehow it got to Settings instead of the main display. If you look closely you can see my personal hotspot showing up in the WiFi menu.
From May 2, 2018, to May 5, 2018, traditional media, the public and NASA Social participants gathered on and around Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc, California to support NASA’s InSight launch. InSight is NASA’s first mission to study the interior of Mars.
The event included a press briefing, tours and a late night viewing of the launch.
InSight will look for tectonic activity and meteorite impacts, study how much heat is still flowing through the planet, and track Mars' wobble as it orbits the sun. While InSight is a Mars mission, it's more than a Mars mission. InSight will help answer key questions about the formation of the rocky planets of the solar system.
JPL, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages the InSight Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space, Denver, built the spacecraft. InSight is part of NASA's Discovery Program, which is managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Photo Credit: (NASA/JPL-Caltech)

In the PNW for a month and a half of atmospheric science research, helping calibrate the GPM satellite's ability measure precipitation from space. Thanks to the #NASASocial program I was able to go on board this airline and science veteran while it is temporarily based at McChord.
