NASA INVITES SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS TO KENNEDY SPACE CENTER



CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA invites its social media followers to a 
two-day NASA Social Aug. 2-3 to celebrate Kennedy Space Center's 50 
years of human spaceflight. NASA Socials are in-person meetings with 
people who engage with the agency through Twitter, Facebook, Google+ 
and other social networks. 

Participants will receive a unique perspective into Kennedy's 50 years 
of launching humans and machines into low Earth orbit and to other 
planets. They will be treated to speakers from Kennedy's past, 
present and future, and tour the historical launch pads of NASA's 
early days through the present-day facilities that supported the 
Space Shuttle Program and Kennedy's transition to the future. 

The event will culminate with Kennedy's participation in NASA's 
first-ever multi-center simulcast to preview the landing of the Mars 
Science Laboratory's Curiosity rover. The simulcast will be held at 
the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. 

Registration for the NASA Social opens at 2 p.m. EDT Thursday, July 
12, and closes at 2 p.m. Monday, July 16. Fifty participants will be 
selected from online registrations. Because portions of this event 
may take place in restricted areas, registration is limited to U.S. 
citizens.
