Did you know tomorrow is National Aviation Day? August 19th was picked specifically because it was Orville Wright's birthday. Orville, along with his brother Wilbur, and their sister Katherine founded the Wright Company. The siblings used their experience managing their family's bicycle store to innovate in the field of aviation. At age 32, Orville piloted the first successful powered, controlled flight; changing the field of aviation, and the world as we know it, forevermore. Here are a few ideas on how to celebrate National Aviation Day: 1. Visit your local library or download a NASA e-book about aviation 2. Visit a local museum that has an aviation exhibit 3. Share your first flight memories in the comments below, or record a video sharing your first experience 4. Go outside with your family and count how many airplanes you see passing overhead in an hour 5. Watch an aviation themed movie Do you have a fun idea on how to celebrate National Aviation Day?

🚀✨ Celebrating 20 Years of Martian Exploration: Spirit and Opportunity ✨🚀 This month marks a historic milestone in space exploration – the 20th anniversary of the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. These robotic geologists, launched by NASA, have revolutionized our understanding of the Red Planet. 🌌 Spirit and Opportunity's journey began in 2003, embarking on what was initially planned as a 90-day mission. Yet, these rovers exceeded all expectations, with Spirit exploring until 2010 and Opportunity until 2018. Their resilience and longevity have been nothing short of extraordinary. 🔍 Through their eyes, we've seen the Martian landscape up close, uncovering evidence of water and diverse geology. They've sent back over 342,000 images, giving us unprecedented insights into Mars' environment and its potential to have supported life. 🌐 Their contributions extend beyond scientific discovery. They've inspired a generation of scientists, engineers, and dreamers, proving that the boundaries of exploration are only limited by our imagination. 👏 As we celebrate this remarkable journey, let's applaud the teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and everyone involved in the Mars Exploration Rover mission. Their dedication and innovation have paved the way for future missions and continued exploration of our solar system. Here's to many more years of discovery and exploration! 🌟 #NASA #MarsRovers #SpaceExploration #Anniversary #SpiritandOpportunity

In 1939, in an effort to encourage US citizens to participate in activities that would promote public interest in aviation, President Franklin D. Roosevelt designated August 19th as National Aviation Day. Here are a few ideas on how to celebrate National Aviation Day: 1. Visit your local library or download a NASA e-book about aviation 2.

Celebrating 20 Years of Martian Exploration: The Legacy of Spirit and Opportunity 🌌🚀 This month, we commemorate the 20th anniversary of NASA's Spirit and Opportunity rovers landing on Mars, a milestone that revolutionized our understanding of the Red Planet and propelled space exploration into a new era. 🌍🛰️ Spirit and Opportunity's Impact: In January 2004, these twin rovers embarked on an unprecedented journey, revealing Mars as a world that once harbored water and potentially life. Their discoveries, like Opportunity's detection of "blueberries" (hematite pebbles) and Spirit's evidence of ancient hot springs, transformed our perception of Mars from a barren desert to a planet with a dynamic history. Pioneering Technology and Enduring Innovations: Beyond their scientific achievements, Spirit and Opportunity pioneered techniques in interplanetary navigation and robotic exploration. The knowledge and experience gained from their missions laid the groundwork for advanced rovers like Curiosity and Perseverance, which continue to unravel Mars' mysteries today. A Martian Marathon: Designed for a 90-day mission, these rovers exceeded all expectations. Opportunity, in particular, covered nearly 30 miles (45 kilometers) over 15 years, setting a record for the longest distance driven on another planet. Their resilience and longevity expanded our capabilities in space exploration, proving that we can achieve far more than we initially imagine. Inspiring Future Generations: The success of Spirit and Opportunity has not only advanced our scientific knowledge but also inspired a new generation of explorers and scientists. Their legacy lives on in the work of those who continue to push the boundaries of our understanding of Mars and the universe. As we celebrate this remarkable anniversary, let's reflect on how far we've come in space exploration and dream about the new frontiers we have yet to conquer. Here's to the next 20 years of discovery and beyond! 🎉🌠 #MarsRovers #SpaceExploration #NASA #SpiritAndOpportunity #Anniversary #Mars #Science #Technology #Innovation #FutureGenerations

Space travels needs sustainable and reliable technology functioning over decades. The rovers are proof that a well conceived design is able to override pessimistic assumption of lifetime. I also refer to Voyager I and II, which are now interstellar, launched in year 1977, having travelled till this year over 162 AE. Transmitting data for 46 years. This is engineering power.

"Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." Jack romanticised the whole idea of space exploration, instilling this big dream in the audience at that time, making space this frontier that was so far yet so achievable by human kind. For a brief moment, he made it seem like the collective "we" could explore space together as a cohesive unit. Yes, there was competition with East but the idea of a 'joint exploration' as one humankind was not far from his mind. Jack's vision transcended mere national pride and geopolitical rivalry. He tapped into a deeper, more universal aspiration—the intrinsic human desire to explore, to push boundaries, and to achieve the extraordinary, to achieve what NO human being has ever dared to dream about In his speech, he emphasised on the value of freedom, calling on the people to create their own destiny rather than have it imposed or chosen for them. He framed space as a new frontier, emphasised the urgency and feasibility of the moon mission within the context of the present and appealed to the audience's sense of identity. Jack's words carried a powerful message : that the pursuit of such grand and profound challenges brings out the best in us. We are reminded that it is never solely a competition with other individuals, other entities, other nations; it is always about competing against our own limitations Jack embodied the ultimate human spirit, of hope, of progress and of the boundless potential of human ambition. Ultimately, the moon would be his one great gift for humanity. If only he saw what America did in 1969, just 6 years after his passing.

“On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members aboard. The crew was scheduled to deploy a communications satellite and study Halley's Comet while they were in orbit, in addition to taking schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe into space under the Teacher In Space program. The latter resulted in a higher-than-usual media interest and coverage of the mission; the launch and subsequent disaster were seen live in many schools across the United States.” 👉NASA has experienced many catastrophic crises with some crisis comms responses more successful than others. 👉 As an agency, they have strived to learn from each crisis and identify areas of improvement to make their crisis comms plans more agile and flexible. 👉 Plans are practiced and drills keep the team crisis-ready with a culture of continuous learning. 👉 As a result, they have kept public trust and confidence over the years allowing them to continue their mission with an operating budget over $21 million. 👉 The lesson here is to learn the lessons identified for your next crisis and adopt them into your plan. Bless those lost on these missions and their families. 💔 #crisiscomms #crisismanagement #crisisleadership #NASA
