  1. RT @WomenintheAir: RT @carolynporco: It was 40 years ago today. Congrats to Apollo 12 astronauts Alan Bean and Dick Gordon, and posthumo ...
  2. Check out this site: http://thewritersslum.blogs...
  3. Glory days! Today's status briefing about the space shuttle mission, STS-129, will air live on NASA TV at 12:30 PM EST. www.nasa.gov/ntv.
  4. #nasatweetup Thanks so very much, everyone at NASA, for this momentous experience. Please do it again!
  5. #nasatweetup Everyone in Twent applauding the tv. "Picture perfect launch" with clear view for 3 minutes. Historic!
  6. #nasatweetup NASA post launch press conference starting. Atlantis last flew to Hubble. "Three small foam events" just before launch.
  7. #nasatweetup Volunteer, just retired from NPR, tells me this launch was LOUDER and STRAIGHTER than any others she's seen.
  8. #nasatweetup By now, it's probably the Apollo 13 moment on Atlantis: astros taking off helmets + gloves, saying "whew," enjoying the view
  9. #nasatweetup Asteroid tried to brain us. Giddy with post-launch exhiliration!
  10. #nasatweetup NASA TV giving us the view from space. Space, space, space/It's a real nice place/Cruised around Jupiter /Looked up Uranus
  11. #nasatweetup Atlantis on its way into Earth orbit. NASA ships in the Atlantic looking for launch engines; fuel tank burns up in atmosphere
  12. #nasatweetup CU on NASA TV of three Atlantis engines firing. "An atomic Roman candle, the most impressive ever," sez my Tweeting neighbor.
  13. #nasatweetup John Yetrick, NASA: Landing not as exciting: two sonic booms, landing "like a brick." Our launch best one he's seen.
  14. #nasatweetup Fiery tail+smoke trail much smaller than poor little Atlantis. Perfect FLDA sky and cirrus clouds behind. Awesome, that true
  15. #nasatweetup By Stage ONe, I mean the firing of the rear engines at the Shuttle's payload bay. TV can't capture what it's like to be here.
  16. #nasatweetup It turned left and we watched separation of Stage 1. Watching NASA TV replay launch at 2:28 PM and 10 secs EST
  17. #nasatweetup STS 129 glowed like a giant firecracker, sounds like one, snap, crackle, pop. Huge billows of gray, white smoke.
  18. #nasatweetup I'm at a loss to describe what I just felt + saw. I'd been told "it's so BIG". Gasped, cried, out of breath. CONGRATS, NASA!
  19. #nasatweetup Waiting for my heart to slow down. It was a perfect countdown - no bats - + a perfect launch. Atlantis a dot; now gone
  20. #nasatweetup TalkingScience is leaving the Twent to see the launch with naked eyes! Beyond excited; pinching myself that I'm HERE.
