🐢 It doesn’t matter how slowly you go as long as you don’t stop To get to the Moon, you don’t just need to successfully lift off from the launch pad. You first need to GET ON the Launchpad. To do this, you'll require a little help from the twins "Hans" & "Franz", also known as the Crawler Transporters. Shown here is a close-up view of some of the treads on Franz, also known as crawler-transporter 2 (CT-2) as the behemoth vehicle moves along the crawlerway at NASAKennedy. Teams are working to ensure that crawlerway (the path the CT-2, mobile launcher, and Space Launch System rocket with Orion atop) will take from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Complex 39B, is strong enough to withstand the weight and provide stability for the NASAArtemis I mission. Hans and Franz were nicknames given to the vehicles by early space program workers. What would you name your crawler❓Comment below!

If Carey Mulligan & Mario Lopez conceived a baby, it might have dimples so deep, they warp the spacetime continuum, opening a portal to a parallel universe. https://t.co/lkpQHHtoRE

We are saddened by the passing of Dr. Millie Hughes-Fulford, the first woman to fly as a NASA payload specialist. Today we reflect on her dedication to biomedical studies in space. Learn more about her research: https://t.co/YN8zbLws2I https://t.co/NKGWyrKYhv

Stupid, highly nerdy, juvenile joke alert…

50 years ago today, Apollo 14 astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell landed on the Moon for a 33-hour stay full of science, as fellow crew member Stuart Roosa conducted observations from lunar orbit. Revisit this #Apollo50th anniversary: https://t.co/AKD9f8lIgu https://t.co/OizV3A8iAy

Christian Davenport: Some Congressional staffers were briefed *yesterday* on the SpaceX FAA launch license violation. They were told there was a miscommunication on modeling for how far any shockwave would travel from a blast and the damage it would cause--ie broken windows--in changing weather.

NASA's Juno spacecraft was 4400 miles above the cloud tops when it snapped this picture of swirling clouds.

This is a galactic powerhouse. 🔥 Shining in this #HubbleFriday image, NGC 1792 is both a spiral galaxy and a starburst galaxy. Starburst galaxies can form stars at a rate over ten times higher than our Milky Way: https://t.co/n7AGzsrXjC https://t.co/5HwkQwq6Yv
