2, 1, Booster Ignition...

00:00:05.660 --> 00:00:09.670
and a final lift off of discovery.

00:00:09.670 --> 00:00:12.661
As a social media manager at Nasa Headquarters in Washington D.C.

00:00:12.661 --> 00:00:14.706
I oversee all of NASA's social media accounts,

00:00:14.706 --> 00:00:18.222
and uh, primarily the @nasa Twitter account

00:00:18.222 --> 00:00:21.973
and make sure that we are engaging with our followers on Twitter.

00:00:21.973 --> 00:00:26.601
And telling them about the wonders of the universe and what we're doing with space exploration.

00:00:26.601 --> 00:00:33.159
We have more than 110 Twitter accounts across the agency, and we have 20

00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:40.954
tweeting astronauts. It takes engagement to another level and people don't just follow us...

00:00:40.954 --> 00:00:46.073
They start, you know, really spreading the word, and becoming advocates, and telling people about

00:00:46.073 --> 00:00:48.456
their experience with NASA.

00:00:48.456 --> 00:00:54.215
We have an image of the day that we tweet out and people love, love, love the images.

00:00:54.215 --> 00:00:59.248
And video, we have great video's and um, so launch and landing videos obviously are really high.

00:00:59.248 --> 00:01:03.954
Whatever your niche interest is, you can find it on Twitter I promise.

00:01:03.954 --> 00:01:08.206
And you can connect to a community of people who have the same interest as you.

00:01:08.206 --> 00:01:14.125
So it doesn't matter how sort of, niche it is, there's a group on Twitter

00:01:14.125 --> 00:01:18.125
talking about that subject and you can be part of that conversation.
