We are all in, United, bi-partisan, and focused on the horizon goal-Humans to Mars! It was my honor to testify w Peggy Whitson @tonybruno @exploremars. Thank you for your leadership Bill Nelson, Senator Ted Cruz Ed Markey and Senator Gary Peters! commerce.senate.gov/public/index.c… ☄️🌎

Students are lucky to have professors such as Shannon Nawotniak ! 👍 Honored to work with her on NASA research as well.

Meet Tom Grubb, Product Development Lead for augmented and virtual reality at NASA Goddard. Grubb is developing software that utilizes AR & VR as an intuitive way to help scientists and engineers train for NASA missions. More about this work, visit: go.nasa.gov/2OCb8Sq

There is ice on the Moon! Researchers have found direct evidence of water ice located in the darkest and coldest parts of the Moon’s polar regions. The ice deposits were detected by a NASA instrument aboard @ISRO’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/2nZVunP

Most of this water ice on the Moon lies in the shadows of craters near the poles, where the warmest temperatures never reach above -250°F. With enough ice at the surface, water would possibly be accessible as a resource for future expeditions to explore and even stay on the Moon.

Bit behind (as always), but wanted to post another link to a touching story that Jenny Woodman, a Science Communications Fellow on the E/V Nautilus wrote a few days ago. Have a read...and have a kleenex handy. proteusscicomm.org/2018/09/01/oce…

The final dive of the SUBSEA_research expedition is happening now! Start your week off with some science at sea, as researchers explore underwater lava flows near Hawaii's Big Island. NautilusLive.org

"Dear 2nd Graders, Your teacher asked me to speak about what girls do on our ship, adding that you all thought only boys could be engineers and that made me a little sad." Read the letter from Nautilus SciComm Fellow Jenny Woodman Proteus: proteusscicomm.org/2018/09/01/oce…

Former NASA Admin @cboldenjr advocates getting to the surfaces of the Moon and Mars to do in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) & prove it works. #AiaaSpace

Well done @IAC2018 ! 👍👍

Jim NASA We need a “path finding” rover mission to the poles - resource prospector would be good for this and some of the commercial companies have rovers that could carry that payload. This would be in line with what George Sowers Lunar Mining wksp report stated.

From myself, my team, and all of us here at westernuSpace - very excited for your successful launch David Saint-Jacques and looking forward to sharing your discoveries from the #ISS over the coming months #CdnSpace #SpaceMatters #Daretoexplore #explore Canadian Space Agency Western University

A must read!

Hawaii is a great place to: ✅ Relax 🌴 ✅ Unwind 🍹 ✅ Prepare for a mission to Mars 👩‍🚀 On Hawaii’s lava fields 🌋, we tested new technologies and methods future astronauts might one day use to explore the Red Planet and other deep space destinations: go.nasa.gov/2TnrsHz

Happy Monday!!!! Jessica Marquez, NASA Engineer, shares how Internships are great for testing the waters with different careers. You'll get a feel for whether or not a career is right for you. Learn more about her NASA internship at careergirls.org/role-model/nas… #NASA #INTERNSHIPS
