Today immediately before today's landing of @NASAPersevere, I had the honor and pleasure of discussing the significance of today's successful mission with my @dexterlearning Astronautics 101 students.

And I have good news to share, real cause for optimism. What many grownups overlooked is today's landing of Mars Rover Perseverance–launched this past July atop one of the most successful rockets in history of space exploration: @ulalaunch's mighty #AtlasV–is the first major successful space mission for a generation of young students.

OH YES WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE CONSCIOUS ABSENCE OF BLACK AND POC VOICES AT SPACE SCIENCE CONFERENCES I say conscious because organizers know. THEY KNOW. Space science conferences are one of THE WORST offenders for *not* making inclusion a priority.

This tweet is difficult to parse however once threshed the takeaway is chilling:

With this election, the US President is methodically culling the entire National Republican Party of any members but loyalists. Trump isn’t taking out Democrats; Trump is taking out Republicans–who aren’t Trump supporters!

So I have something to come clean to and it’s really awesome and I’m really happy about it and it may not matter to you but it matters to me. Here it is:

I was wrong about @JimBridenstine.

He’s not only not bad, he’s really good. He’s good for space and he’s good for @NASA. Before @JimBridenstine was appointed I was torn. NASA needs an administrator. It’s an imperative. Without an administrator it’s a large organization without focus or lead. That’s potentially cataclysmic. Yet I was really nervous Rep Bridenstine would be anti-science, anti-people.
