Join us on June 17, 2021 at 2 p.m. EDT for a conversation in honor of National LGBTQ+ Pride Month about what it means to be an ally, understanding some of the barriers faced by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, and what you as an active ally can do to help break down those barriers. The panel discussion will be moderated by Charles Cockrell, associate director for strategy at NASA’s Glenn Research Center, and will feature:
• Melanie Saunders, NASA deputy associate administrator • Sarah J. Phillips, visual information specialist for the Image Technology Center at NASA’s Glenn Research Center • Ron Brade, retired associate center director at NASA’s Ames Research Center • Donna Shafer, associate center director at NASA’s Johnson Space Center
The event is sponsored by the LGBTQ+ Employee Alliance Group at NASA’s Langley Research Center, the LGBT Advisory Council at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Out & Allied at NASA’s Johnson Space Center; the LGBT Employee and Allies Network at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, the LGBT Advisory Group at NASA’s Ames Research Center, the NASA HQ Pride Alliance; The Rainbow Alliance at NASA’s Glenn Research Center, Stennis Space Center, and the NASA Shared Services Center.
To celebrate the premiere of @Coldplay’s latest single ‘Higher Power’, the band linked up for an extraterrestrial video chat with French ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who is currently on a six-month mission on board the International Space Station. A specially recorded performance of Higher Power – featuring dancing alien holograms – was beamed up to Thomas, who gave the track its very first play on board the Station. The song’s premiere followed a conversation which took in similarities between life on tour and life on the Space Station, how planet Earth looks from space and its fragility; and how Thomas listens to music in microgravity.
We are Europe’s gateway to space. Our mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. Check out https://www.esa.int/ to get up to speed on everything space related.
Europe’s new launch vehicle, Vega-C, is near completion. Elements will soon be shipped to Kourou for assembly and preparation for Vega-C’s inaugural flight.
This new launcher improves its Vega predecessor by offering more power and versatility at similar cost. This new design allows Vega-C to transport larger and heavier payloads into space making it a world-class competitor on the global launcher market while ensuring Europe’s independent access to space.

Satellites provides us with large volumes of spatio-temporal data, creating great opportunities for innovative entrepreneurs. ESA’s Business Applications programme is supporting European projects to turn these data into solutions for a wide range of socio-economic situations, as well as jobs and products. This video highlights three concrete examples: automated trains, rehabilitation and money transfers in isolated areas.

During an October 15 spacewalk outside the International Space Station – the second U.S. spacewalk in as many weeks – Expedition 41 Flight Engineers Reid Wiseman and Barry Wilmore of NASA, replaced a failed voltage regulation device to restore the station’s electrical power output to full capacity. The pair also relocated camera and TV equipment as part of a major reconfiguration to accommodate new docking adapters for use by U.S. commercial crew spacecraft in the next few years. Also, MAVEN’s “First Light”, Hubble finds extremely distant galaxy, Possible bonus destination for New Horizons, New information about volcanic activity on our moon and more!
Water and bleach: historically, this pair go together pretty well, namely in the world of cleanliness. Bleach is a remarkably caustic base that, when diluted with water, can clean stains from whites and linoleum. However, apart from their similarly clear appearance, water and bleach are very dissimilar. Bleach is very alkaline, but water is a neutral pH. Chemically, that is saying a lot. But what does that have to do with vivid colors?
Read the full experiment at http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/solar-oven-s-mores There are just some things that are synonymous with “summertime snacks,” and we can’t think of a summer snack we enjoy quite as much as s’mores. But what would you do if you weren’t allowed to have a fire or just didn’t have the tools necessary for a fire? We came up with a pretty neat way to harness the heat and energy of the sun to create a solar powered cooker that makes a delicious batch of s’mores without a fire!
We’ve taught you the water absorbing secret behind the polymer inside diapers, but did you know that a Diaper Genie bag is a great way to demonstrate some properties of air? That’s right! That plastic smell-shield isn’t just for odor defense any longer. Now you can use the thin plastic bag to show Bernoulli’s Principle and amaze your friends.
