THERE IS A ROCKET LAUNCH TODAY SENDING ASTRONAUTS TO THE @Space_Station AND IM SO EXCITED IM COUNTING DOWN THE MINUTES!!!!!!!!
COVERAGE IS BEGINNING ON NASA TV
omg NASA TV’s opening coverage started by flashing Sally Ride’s name across the screen and launched me into immediate tears
AHHH astronaut & puppy legend @Astro_Flow is on the panel discussing the launch!!!!
both astronauts launching to the ISS, Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, are married to astronauts
Behnken’s wife, K. Megan McArthur, was the last person “hands on” with the Hubble Space Telescope
Hurley’s wife, Karen Nyberg, has spent 180 days in space
how insanely COOL IS THIS
“this is the last place on planet Earth they’re standing before launching to the International Space Station” oh my god.
omg love seeing @thephysicsgirl on NASA TV!! killin it Dianna ❤️
in 1 hour and 56 minutes, 2 humans are lifting off of planet Earth to float amongst the stars. #LaunchAmerica
i’m looking at supernova data and watching two humans prepare to fly to the cosmos— this feels right out of a sci-fi novel
as if me ranting on Twitter isn’t enough, you can follow along with my excitement via photos and videos on my IG and IG stories :) instagram.com/starstrickenSF
I HAVE SO MANY BUTTERFLIES I FEEL LIKE I’M GONNA EXPLODE
can you imagine knowing you’re going to leave planet Earth in 27 minutes
