2, 1, Booster Ignition...


00:00:05.464 --> 00:00:09.093
and a final lift off of Discovery.


00:00:09.826 --> 00:00:12.754
(Schiero) As a social media manager at Nasa Headquarters in Washington D.C.


00:00:12.754 --> 00:00:15.380
I oversee all of NASA's social media accounts,


00:00:15.380 --> 00:00:19.168
and uh, primarily the @nasa Twitter account


00:00:19.168 --> 00:00:22.794
and make sure that we are engaging with our followers on Twitter.


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.


00:00:28.042 --> 00:00:35.575
We have more than 110 Twitter accounts across the agency, and we have 20 tweeting astronauts.

00:00:35.898 --> 00:00:41.684
It takes engagement to another level and people don't just follow us...


00:00:41.684 --> 00:00:47.220
They start, you know, really spreading the word, and becoming advocates, and telling people about


00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:49.387
their experience with NASA.


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.


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.


00:01:00.551 --> 00:01:04.577
Whatever your niche interest is, you can find it on Twitter I promise.


00:01:04.577 --> 00:01:08.634
And you can connect to a community of people who have the same interest as you.


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


00:01:14.828 --> 00:01:18.828
talking about that subject and you can be part of that conversation.
