I should add that most @NASASocial events give someone access equal to or even greater than press members covering the same event. No, Social attendees can't place remote cameras at the pad, but then again, most members of the press won't meet Tory Bruno or Mark Sirangelo.


I attended a couple @NASASocial events and was astonished at the access they gave and the knowledge they shared. I met Gwynne Shotwell, for example, at a NASA Social.

This was the first NASA Launch Tweetup event, man did it light a fire among those attending. The " Tweetups" today still live on in the form of @NASASocial If you hear about an event, do try to sign up for one. It's something that will change you for the better.
