NASA Langley #Tweetup

Yesterday we had an amazing opportunity provided to us by NASA to participate in their first ever Tweetup at their Langley Research Facility in Virginia.  Langley is the oldest NASA facility but before finding out about it on Twitter I only thought of Langley and the CIA, not even realizing there was NASA in Virginai.  As part of the tweetup we received a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most storied sites at Langley including a hangar tour, lunch with astronaut Susan Kilrain, a wind tunnel tour, going into inflatable moon housing and watching the drop of Orion, an 18,000-pound space capsule into the test pool. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words so I’m going to save my fingers and let you see for yourself.
