1
00:00:01,824 --> 00:00:05,464
2, 1, Booster Ignition...


2
00:00:05,464 --> 00:00:09,093
and a final lift off of Discovery.


3
00:00:09,826 --> 00:00:12,754
(Schiero) As a social media manager at Nasa Headquarters in Washington D.C.


4
00:00:12,754 --> 00:00:15,380
I oversee all of NASA's social media accounts,


5
00:00:15,380 --> 00:00:19,168
and uh, primarily the @nasa Twitter account


6
00:00:19,168 --> 00:00:22,794
and make sure that we are engaging with our followers on Twitter.


7
00:00:22,794 --> 00:00:28,042
And telling them about the wonders of the universe and what we're doing with space exploration.


8
00:00:28,042 --> 00:00:35,575
We have more than 110 Twitter accounts across the agency, and we have 20 tweeting astronauts.

9
00:00:35,898 --> 00:00:41,684
It takes engagement to another level and people don't just follow us...


10
00:00:41,684 --> 00:00:47,220
They start, you know, really spreading the word, and becoming advocates, and telling people about


11
00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:49,387
their experience with NASA.


12
00:00:49,387 --> 00:00:54,551
We have an image of the day that we tweet out and people love, love, love the images.


13
00:00:54,551 --> 00:01:00,551
And video, we have great video's and um, so launch and landing videos obviously are really high.


14
00:01:00,551 --> 00:01:04,577
Whatever your niche interest is, you can find it on Twitter I promise.


15
00:01:04,577 --> 00:01:08,634
And you can connect to a community of people who have the same interest as you.


16
00:01:08,634 --> 00:01:14,828
So it doesn't matter how sort of, niche it is, there's a group on Twitter


17
00:01:14,828 --> 00:01:18,828
talking about that subject and you can be part of that conversation.
