Wednesday - September 7
Hello again pre #NASATweetupinsomnia, nice to see you again :) T-4 hours until #grail tweetup begins! Excited!!!
looks like a good day for a #NASAtweetup to me :)
only 4 tables into #NASAtweetupintros and i'm pretty sure the NASA social media team somehow finds the coolest people ever.
Y'all, we are the smartest, most interesting, best-looking bunch of space geeks EVER. #GRAIL #NASAtweetup
Me and GRAIL!yfrog.com/nvs0lmj
Endeavour is in the VAB :) (so, yes@amaiman , I was hoping, and it was!) yfrog.com/g0lgkzj
This is what a #NASATweetuplooks like! yfrog.com/h689kmwj
Delta II rocket and #GRAIL moon-bound spacecraft are ready for the mission. Video: bit.ly/qnS47Z
"I wanna know if there's life elsewhere in the universe." -Charlie Bolden, NASA Administrator #NASATweetup
All kinds of people show up at #NASATweetup! It's Lt. Uhura!yfrog.com/mf71kjj
"nothing is impossible. If you can dream it, if you can imagine it, you can do it." -Nichelle Nichols #NASATweetup
There were 90.7 million potential impressions sent out by@NASAJuno tweeps! #NASATweetup
NASA loves math! "if you don't study algebra, you're not setting the right path for yourself." - @nasajim #NASATweetup
Maria Zuber, #grail PI: "Apollo moon rocks are the gift that keep on giving" heck yes!! I have some in my classroom now! :) #NASATweetup
Geology nerds unite! Maria Zuber, #grail investigator just mentioned my favorite mineral, plagioclase feldspar! #NASATweetup
“Press always asks me what are you going to discover? If I knew that, I could save myself a lot of trouble." -Dr. Zuber #NASATweetup
"@canadianpenguin:know something's going on at @NASAwhen @d_l_miller is blowing up my stream with nerdy stuff"
We're seeing the 259th and last delta rocket launch from launch complex 17. #NASATweetup #grail
"A scientist is just someone who never grew up." -@neiltyson #NASATweetup
"we spend the first 2 years of a childs life teaching them to walk&talk the rest of their life to sit down&shut up" @neiltyson #NASATweetup
Both GRAIL & Juno investigate internal structure & history using gravity science. Go GRAIL!bit.ly/rcXAhh
Thursday - September 8
only at a #nasatweetup can you early morning satellite spot with@neiltyson.
The final readiness poll is now being conducted by the launch director. Upper level winds are currently RED.
First launch attempt has been waived off due to upper level winds. There's another launch opportunity at 9:16 a.m. EDT.
The weather didn’t cooperate for NASA’s GRAIL launch. We try again tomorrow at 8:33 a.m. ET.go.nasa.gov/mY2UBQ
listening to @neiltyson talk about the universe. wish he'd come teach my students. Everything he says sounds so cool.yfrog.com/klhtplmj
RT @nasahqphoto #GRAIL #NASATweetup attendees gather for a group photo. Check it out!flic.kr/p/akxjMh I'm above the S!!
lesson planning for tmrw, decided it's moon day!
Must. Sleep. Now. 16 year olds in less than 6 hours. #grail #NASATweetup = not enough sleep but totally worth it.
Friday - September 9
2 days of #NASAtweetup tweep-y fun makes for one very (tired) excited science teacher! moon rocks & #grail! in my classroom it's moon day!
Launch Day - September 10
Excited by #GRAIL? Do 3 things: 1) go to Launchwatch.org 2) Look up at the Moon differently now 3) Tell/Inspire someone!
