I got into space exporation because of the hope that looking back at our own world and our context would help us realize how precious life is.
Space still feels like a reminder to me of what is possible when we put our collective resources together, tackling incredible challenges and managing complex systems. I hope to watch today& #39;s launch through that lens.
It is bittersweet though, as @astronaia says so well here: https://twitter.com/astronaia/status/1266762553956409349?s=21">https://twitter.com/astronaia... https://twitter.com/astronaia/status/1266762553956409349">https://twitter.com/astronaia...
If you& #39;re so inclined, join us for this occasion. Gather your hope. Fill your soul with optimism. Witness what humanity is capable of. Then after let& #39;s turn our collective abilities to addressing the systemic problems facing our nation and the world.
There are many ways to watch. Whatever you choose, I love you all, fellow residents of spaceship Earth. https://twitter.com/nasa/status/1266807391305314305?s=21">https://twitter.com/nasa/stat... https://twitter.com/nasa/status/1266807391305314305">https://twitter.com/nasa/stat...
I’m crying. I think I am more nervous for this launch than I was for @MarsCuriosity’s
Also beautiful to see my dear friends @Astro_Flow & @Laur_Ly sharing their expertise and experience with space exploration
And now a series of texts from our partners at @isro sharing their excitement. There is something beautiful in how space crosses borders.
