Can’t believe I omitted the calendar! That was even on my brainstorming notes :). Thanks, Geoff!

That’s a better link for my Essential Space & Science sites article, not the Free Stuff article — http://ageekmom.com/240/essential-space-science-sites/

Comment on An Open Letter to the Shuttle Program by Jeffrey Holton (@JeffHolton)

I love this line:

“I have no doubt that the next vehicles to take humans into Low Earth Orbit and beyond will be inspiring and beneficial, perhaps in ways we have not yet imagined.”

It’s hard to predict the future (even the near future), but as I post this comment on this two-year-old blog entry, the first commercial launch to the ISS is currently scheduled for a few days from now.

Inspiring indeed!

Thrilled to hear that Ames tweetup ignited a similar spark in you that my first NASATweetup (happened to be a Shuttle launch — I know, lucky duck!) did in me. You will have an absolutely incredible time in Florida at KSC and experiencing the MSL launch carrying Curiosity on her journey to Mars!

I had to pick something to focus on for the nomination, otherwise I’d have blathered on for 20 pages, so I focused on the tweetups. The NASA Tweetups are really just one part of Stephanie’s job/role/work at NASA. They’re definitely the part we, the public, most directly benefit from and the part that is the coolest/most interactive — probably for both Stephanie and us. ;-) She’s also busy fielding phone calls from reporters and the public, writing articles and press releases, attending conferences and speaking about social media and emerging technologies in communication, and probably about 500 other things I’ve never imagined.

Wow, what a great nomination, and it says so clearly what Stephanie has done for NASA via the tweetups. I am one of those people that wasn’t very engaged with NASA or space stuff, although I have always loved looking up at the stars. The chance to go to a NASA Ames tweetup earlier this year (which is close to my home) has been the opening up of a whole new chapter for me – I’ve talked about NASA and space stuff to my friends, I bought a telescope and am currently in love with watching Jupiter’s moons in their orbits, and I am so excited to have the opportunity to watch Mars Curiosity launch this month (my first launch).

She gets the NASAtweetup MVP award, for sure!

Stephanie, you are quite welcome. You spend SO much of your time helping others, as that tweet publicizing the Women In Aerospace awards nomination opportunity so clearly shows. I know the _last_ thing on your mind was that someone reading that tweet would nominate you; that, in part, was why I made it a point to do just that! Just as you have heroes who inspire you to excel and achieve, you have to accept you serve that role for some of us. :)
