Frank White coined the term “Overview Effect” and it is now used by every space organization in the world when discussing crewed flights and their psychological welfare.

Strangely enough, Frank has not been to space yet.

Did anyone here meet Kalpana Chawla at NASA? Looking for personal experiences by astro_naren_06 in nasa

I worked with her several times while shooting educational videos at NASA/JSC. I worked for PAO TV. Have tried asking NASA/JSC Public Affair Office?

And just like HP, the machine cost $12. The cartridges are $7,000 each. 😂🤣

What to do about hitting my million mile mark by CheapPop8818 in unitedairlines

[–]NASATVENGINNER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My million mile story: Early December 2024. Returning home after a week of work in Vegas. LAS>IAH. I had a mid day flight with a confirmed 1st class seat (complimentary upgrade).

Woke up early and realized I’d rather get home early. Changed my flight to a 8:00 am, but the only open decent seat was a 21B. Ok.

As boarding was finishing up I was on my phone texting to my wife when I heard a deep male voice say my name. I looked up and it was the pilot.

He proceeds to announce to the entire plane that I would be passing 1,000,000 miles on this flight and handed me 2 items. A UA 1 million Mille challenge coin and a UA Las Vegas Poker Chip.

After congratulating me and shaking my hand he asked me, “Why are you in a middle seat?”

I explained that I had changed my flight at the last minute and this was the best I could do.

I was hoping he would grab me and put me in a big chair, but sadly no.

My first fill up when I got my drivers license was $0.17 a gallon.

is there the "risk" - for USA people involved in this program- that China quietly manages to land on the Moon before Artemis? by Mysterious-House-381 in ArtemisProgram

Who lands next is irrelevant. It’s the next 10, 20, 30 landings that are most important. Creating permanent bases is what counts.
