#thisweeksf Launch of STS-51C on January 24, 1985. The mission deployed a NRO sigint satellite, part of the Magnum/Orion program. Ken Mattingly was the commander of the mission and was also the CMP on Apollo 16 which include the LEM named ‘Orion’.

Elon Musk just suspended a bunch of journalists, including Aaron Rupar, who cover him — without any reason. By silencing journalists, it’s clear that Elon Musk doesn’t care about free speech or democracy. He only cares about himself. We should all be outraged. – at Paris, France
Traveling today. Why do @SouthwestAir gate agents sound so threatening in their announcements on the PA compared to other airlines. I feel like I’m told that I’m doing something bad or illegal before I ever even engage with them.
#thisweeksf launch of Ulysses on Oct 6, 1990 aboard STS-41. It took four years and a flyby of Jupiter to get to its desired location.

There's a lot of pain and sadness in the world. And Twitter can be an endless doomscroll. So here's a challenge. Share a picture of something that brings you joy – a place, a person, a pet, a hobby, a favorite book. The more diversity the better. How many pictures can we get?
#ThisWeekSF Launch of Athena I on September 30, 2001 from Kodiak Launch Complex on Kodiak Island, AK. This was the first orbital launch from Kodiak Island in Alaska. Alaska is known as the final frontier.
#ThisWeekSF Sept. 18, 2013 First Launch of Orbital Sciences Cygnus space craft on top of an Antares rocket, for a supply mission to the ISS. Launched from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. At the time they were promoting Wallops for more commercial and private space companies.
#ThisWeekSF Return and crash of the Genesis sample return canister on Sept. 8, 2004. Mission to collect solar wind particles. End of the Genesis mission (Genesis = Beginning) and the beginning of salvaging the mangled sample return canister on the ground.
#ThisWeekSF Launch of STS-57 on June 21, 1993. It was launched on the summer solstice (the longest day of the year). After reaching orbit, about 10 minutes after launch, the astronauts orbit earth every ~90 minutes, making each of of their 'days' the shortest.
.@NIglobal knows that working from home comes with new stressors, and their wellness strategy reflects that. See how companies can support employees as we cross the one year #WFH mark. bit.ly/3lJDoTK
