Perhaps you're referencing NASA's Face in Space program for the remaining shuttle missions? Check out https://faceinspace.nasa.gov.
Relax. Be relevant. Have fun and don't take yourself too seriously.
We can't endorse anything but we use everything from CoTweet to OpenBeak -- anything that makes access and multimedia posting easier.
It happens, especially during live mission events such as launch or a spacewalk. We work to find that "Goldilocks Zone" for tweets.
Share. If you follow people and they're providing interesting information, share those posts. Go retweet crazy!
@NASA is our professional life. We use it to share mission developments and other agency activities.
Seeing the large number of non-space related Twitter users who are really interested in what we do, like the band McFly and @tommcfly.
The work. There aren't a lot of organizations empowered to dream big and then work to make those dreams come true.
Any organization charged with publicly sharing its mission.
After you get over 200k followers, it's difficult to spotlight any one individual. Anyone who appreciates exploration and discovery.
It's no longer about simply sharing information. The speed and formats with which that information is shared is more important now.
Real people tweet and we try to provide links to supporting information and media. No one else on Earth has our imagery and content.
People geeking out during coverage of space shuttle launches and other mission activities. They can get really excited.
There's really just one -- public support. Without the interest and the inspiration or our followers, the rest is relatively meaningless.
Because it's another way we can share our story directly with people and not rely on a traditional media filter.
Anything NASA related.
It's rare that we go an hour or two without something happening that deserves a post. In space, people can see you tweet!
We'll leave software and interface development to the Twitter professionals.
Agencies and people who don't respond to followers. This has to be a two-way conversation or you're wasting your time.
Anything can be shortened.
@MarsPhoenix and how the creative folks at JPL, especially @VeronicaMcG, posted first-person tweets during the mission.
The first tweets from an astronaut in space, Mike Massimino (@Astro_Mike).
To keep things manageable, we work to follow NASA-related twitter feeds. We've never had to unfollow anyone.
