Thunder head forming beyond the levee

Today was the #StateOfNASA event at NASA centers across America. I was fortunate to get to attend the #NASASocial that covered the presentation and then touring the facility. Great things are going on at Stennis and their future looks bright.

Big portion of Discovery #NASASocial team pause for group photo.

Where's everyone else? Over by the shuttle, I suppose.

The presentations were aired live on NASA TV from 09:30 to 11:00 PDT. Just a couple hours later, we were given DVDs of the recording.
