I took a shot at the Feb 5 Nasa day accross the country. Fingers-crossed! Moffet/Ames is just down the road from me! Right next to a planned Supercharger site...

Next one is for CRS-15. Details are here:
Experience the Launch of the SpaceX CRS-15 Cargo Mission

Social media users are invited to register to attend the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Dragon spacecraft from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. This launch, currently targeted for late June, will be the next commercial cargo resupply services mission to the International Space Station.

If your passion is to communicate and engage the world via social media, then this is the event for you! Seize the opportunity to be on the front line to blog, tweet or Instagram everything about SpaceX’s 15th mission to the space station. In addition to supplies and equipment, the Dragon spacecraft will deliver scientific investigations in the areas of biology and biotechnology, Earth and space science, physical sciences, and technology development and demonstrations.

A maximum of 40 social media users will be selected to attend this two-day event, and will be given access similar to news media.

NASA Social participants will have the opportunity to:

• View a launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
• Speak with researchers about investigations heading to the orbiting microgravity laboratory
• Tour NASA facilities at Kennedy Space Center

I'm thinking that with all you do here @Grendal, you should apply. To the degree that somebody needs relevant and demonstrable social experience, I think your work in this forum will make for an excellent resume

Thank you very much. It's my pleasure to help out. It's on my bucket list to go see a launch. I'll need to take a whole week off to pull off a Florida launch since the timing is always flexible. New Mexico is far from both coasts. Vandenberg is a little easier but you can't see the initial liftoff. NASA social...maybe.
