NASA Social for RBSP Launch

NASA hosted a two-day event for 50 social media followers on August 22-23, 2012, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA's twin Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) are scheduled to lift off aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 4:08 a.m. on August 23. Designed for a two-year primary science mission in orbit around Earth, RBSP will provide insight into our planet's radiation belts, and help scientists predict changes in this critical region of space.

Many people. They say it never happened, they say it was in the Navajo Desert.

Half of the audience is on their Cellphone.
If I had the privilege to even live near the Kennedy Space center, I'd take full advantage of that.

People are on their cell phone and laptops / tablets because they are constantly pushing updates through social media to get people involved in the social. They ask before these start for people to push updates through all their networks.

I hate it when people say Curiosity never landed on Mars. So annoying.
