Wow, what a great idea for a Tweetup! I am not local so can’t attend your events. But, I did have a great time communicating with astronauts via Twitter on the Space Shuttle. This looks like an excellent program, and it’s great that you’re including kids. It’s nice to see NASA involving the public like this.

Cheers,

Let’s all continue to be an inspiration. Not only to each other but let’s make it a point to inspire somebody close. April is Astronomy Month. Take your kid, your nephew or your neighbor’s son and visit a museum, an observatory or just take them out to look at the night sky. Be an inspiration! Provide somebody with the “Wow” feeling the same way NASA and the Air and Space Museum.

I agree with Angela! It was an amazing opportunity to participate in the SED2011 Tweetup. Starting the day at NASM with guided tours and solar observing was just what I needed to open my mind (and eyes) for what would become a day of awe and inspiration.

It was an extraordinary adventure to attend NASA Sun-Earth Day 2011. I was thrilled to be a part of it. Thank you to everyone!

Thank you everyone for making the Sun-Earth Day 2011 Tweetup such a great experience! The Air and Space Museum was a fantastic host and I not only enjoyed seeing some of my A&S Museum friends again, but meeting more of new friends there. One of my favorite parts was the Public Observatory, where we all got a chance to look through a telescope at the Sun. Now I get to do that every day as part of my function – but for so many people, seeing the Sun through a safe telescope is a first! And it’s a humbling experience. Thank you Katie Moore, Erin Braswell, Shelley Witte, and Heather Gross for providing visitors with the opportunity to see the Sun and learn about this beautiful ball of gas, we call the Source of Life.

I was very proud of the NASA Sun-Earth Day and the NASA SDO Team. Not only for recognizing that partnerships open new windows of opportunities, but for making us all grow even further. By teaming up we learn more, we get to work together and we get to share the passion together. Aleya and Marth, Elaine and Troy – thank you for your support and thank you for realizing that we haven’t even touched the surface of the potential we have with Social Media.

I also want to thank the wonderful people who attended this fun Sun-Earth Day Tweetup and travelled from far away to be with us. Many of them I had known from previous Tweetups and many I had only known via Twitter. Some I hadn’t known at all. Every single one holds a special place in my heart because of the excitement they showed, the passion they have and the inspiration they can be.

I will continue to be collaborating with the great people at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum and over the next few months there are already two events I will be part of. igniteSmithsonian on April 11 and Become a Pilot Family Day on June 18. And guess what? I am thrilled to be there, learn more, share more and get even more inspired! I hope to see you at one of these two events! Come say Hi and let’s take a picture together. I do not bite.
