NASA Social participants listen as astronaut Joe Acaba answers questions about his time living aboard the International Space Station at NASA Headquarters, Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012 in Washington. Acaba launched to the International Space Station on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft May 15, 2012, spending 123 days aboard as a flight engineer of the Expedition 31 and 32 crews. He recently returned to Earth on Sept. 17 after four months in low earth orbit. Photo Credit: (NASA/Carla Cioffi)
2018 NASAJPL InSight Launch
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)

Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, NASA's Wallops Island launch facility. Northrop Grumman's Antares rocket NG-10 poised to launch at 4:01 AM Friday, 17 Nov 18. The third launch date was a charm with a spectacular sunset and diminishing breeze. The launch delay was my opportunity to attend.
Taken with Nikon D850 camera, Nikon 300mm f2.8 prime lens, Nikon TC1.7 extender, RRS tripod and RRS ballhead. Use of a remote trigger or time delay is required for sharpest photos.
Regarding photo clarity, distance is a factor as temperature of the air, ground, and water are different resulting in mirage like distortion.
Many public places to view the launch, plan a trip to see one yourself.

Robotic missions such as Surveyor paved the way for astronaut exploration of the Moon. Here are a Moon rock (right) and the scoop from the Surveyor 3 (left), which the Apollo 12 crew retrieved from the lunar surface.

Folks, I meant to do this yesterday but as followers can see I was quite busy... incredibly so. But had a blast at the 2015-11-11 NASA Social (album link: flic.kr/s/aHsko3xmCg ) - and finally meeting Shannon O'Donnell was the best.

JPL Social and Digital Media Supervisor Stephanie L. Smith welcomes participants in the 2020 "State of NASA" Social at JPL.
NASA opened its doors to media and social media its annual "State of NASA" event, Monday, Feb. 10, 2020, at the agency’s locations across the country, including the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. JPL hosted 29 digital creators to learn how the center’s robotic missions help future human exploration of the Moon and Mars. Participants met scientists and engineers, and went behind the scenes in mission control, an indoor "Mars Yard" for testing landers and rovers, and the Spacecraft Assembly Facility, where Mars 2020, NASA's next rover, is preparing for launch later this year. www.nasa.gov/social/state-of-nasa

Rotating slowly toward the deep dark sky, the 70-Meter Antenna DSS-14 at the Goldstone Deep Space Network finds the signal sent from Voyager 1 more than 19 billion km away.
The signal is weak but familiar. DSS-14 listens in silence. Meticulously jotting down each 1's and 0's. Forming a letter, a word, a sentence.
"Location: Heliosheath," Voyager transmitted.
Silence.
DSS-14 waited.
Desperately trying to filter out the noise from the weak signal.
"All Systems Normal."
"It is cold and dark here in the intersteller space."
The message continued.
"I miss the warmth of the sun and the blue planet."
"BTW, you are not alone."
The Principal Investigator of the NASA IMPACTS mission, Lynn McMurdie of the University of Washington, briefs the group about the mission goals, objectives and methodology.
