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.

More than 40 of NASA's followers on social media traveled from across the country to attend a NASA Social event on April 23, 2015, in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. The day-long event began by attending the unveiling of a 25th anniversary image at a NASA press conference at the Newseum in Washington, DC. The participants then traveled to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center where they took part in behind-the-scenes tours of different laboratories, ending with a viewing of the Hubble control center and a hands-on demonstration of the tools used during the Hubble servicing missions.

The final resting spot for Space Shuttle Atlantis at Kennedy Space Center. The shuttle flew 33 missions for NASA.
From the KSC Visitor Complex website:
At Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Space Shuttle Atlantis℠is the new $100 million home of the priceless, historic spacecraft that tells the incredible story of NASA’s 30-year Space Shuttle Program. The 90,000 square-foot Space Shuttle Atlantis℠attraction is the marquee element of the Visitor Complex’s 10-year master plan.
Space Shuttle Atlantisâ„ features state-of-the-art multimedia presentations and more than 60 interactive exhibits and high-tech simulators that bring to life the complex systems and components behind this incredible feat of engineering. One of the most complicated and sophisticated pieces of equipment ever built, the shuttle is a vehicle that launched like a rocket, flew in orbit like a spacecraft and landed on a runway like a glider.
The immersive experience also shines a spotlight on the astounding achievements made over the course of the 30-year Space Shuttle Program, most notably, the building of the International Space Station and the launch and maintenance of the Hubble Space Telescope.
NASA Social participants listen to experts talk in the Space Telescope Operations Control Center about Hubble's flight operations and the five space shuttle servicing missions that maintained, repaired and upgraded the telescope in orbit.

This case in the Space Telescope Operations Control Center displays hardware and tools used to repair the Hubble Space Telescope during Servicing Mission 4 in 2009. All of the tools and hardware in this case were used to repair the Advanced Camera for Surveys, which is one of Hubble's workhorse science instruments.
