CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida -- NASA invites its social media followers to a two-day NASA Social Aug. 2-3 to celebrate Kennedy Space Center's
50 years of human spaceflight. NASA Socials are in-person meetings with
people who engage with the agency through Twitter, Facebook, Google+
and other social networks.
Participants will receive a unique perspective into Kennedy's 50
years of launching humans and machines into low Earth orbit and to other
planets. They will be treated to speakers from Kennedy's past, present
and future, and tour the historical launch pads of NASA's early days
through the present-day facilities that supported the Space Shuttle
Program and Kennedy's transition to the future.
The event will culminate with Kennedy's participation in NASA's
first-ever multi-center simulcast to preview the landing of the Mars
Science Laboratory's Curiosity rover. The simulcast will be held at the
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Registration for the NASA Social opens at 2 p.m. EDT Thursday, July 12 and closes at 2 p.m., Monday, July 16.
Fifty participants will be selected from online registrations. Because
portions of this event may take place in restricted areas, registration
is limited to U.S. citizens.
