The #Artemis I mission to the Moon has been postponed. Teams attempted to fix an issue related to a leak in the hardware transferring fuel into the rocket, but were unsuccessful. Join NASA leaders later today for a news conference. Check for updates: youtu.be/JWAA5P-iFJs

Here it is: humanity’s final look at @NASAWebb as it heads into deep space to answer our biggest questions. Alone in the vastness of space, Webb will soon begin an approximately two-week process to deploy its antennas, mirrors, and sunshield. #UnfoldTheUniverse

I did outreach with some 4th grade classes today and at the end when I asked them what they learned, one girl said “girls can be rocket scientists, but I don’t have to be a rocket scientist at all to be cool and work on space stuff!” Y’all. My heart burst with joy.
