Some students from a local university Hofstra University was supposed to screen their documentary in April. If we show online will let you know. And there is this gem from our friends @ASMEdotorg youtu.be/e_hQ4zksrfU

Will a team of over 400000 ever assemble and achieve so much ever again? Perhaps only if humanity collectively takes steps to save us all from climate change disaster! Then again - how many will it take to vote Trump out in November? That will be teamwork!

How will we rise to the challenge of our time? In moments of great crisis, it's important to remember that we all have a part to play, and that our ability to take action -- however seemingly insignificant -- has the potential to make a tremendous difference. #spirtofapollo

We're saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. Today, we celebrate her 101 years of life and honor her legacy of excellence that broke down racial and social barriers: go.nasa.gov/2SUMtN2

Women and space alert πŸš€ I've made a programme about the seamstresses to the stars - from the women who sewed Neil Armstrong's spacesuit, Skylab's heatshield and the Shuttle's thermal blankets to sewing on missions today. Broadcast tomorrow.... bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct03n…
