“I was sold on flying as soon as I had a taste for it.” – John Glenn Planning your summer vacation? Be sure to check out these groovy aviation museums with your #STEMists! http://www.groovylabinabox.com/6-kid-friendly-u-s-aviation-museums/ #aviation #museums #flying #STEM

Geraldine “Jerrie” Mock #WomenInSTEM #GirlsInSTEM In 1964 Geraldine “Jerrie” Mock became the first woman to fly solo around the world.  Her flight took 29 days and was completed April 17, 1964.  According to her obituary, Mock thought her flight was no big deal.  She said she did it mostly “to have fun.” Although she enjoyed flying, she obviously took it seriously, too–she did, after all, live to the age of 88.  When she did her around-the-world flight, she was a full-time mother of three children and had been a licensed pilot for only seven years.  During her famous flight she once had to land in Saudi Arabia.  After she exited the plane, the crowd waited for a man (the pilot) to come out, too.  When no man emerged, they realized she was the pilot and many cheered.  Her plane, the Spirit of Columbus, is in a museum in Chantilly, Virginia.

Congratulations @spacex and @kennedyspacecenter on another successful launch! 🚀 ・・・ Another successful @SpaceX #Starlink launch! 🛰👏 This marks the 3rd launch from #KennedySpaceCenter this year. 🚀🚀🚀 Will you #JoinTheJourney for number 4? 📸: @johnkrausphotos #repost . . . #spacex #spacexlaunch #kennedyspacecenter #space #rocket #launch #rocketlaunch - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B77tfbSBg4U/?igshid=1lwns0gt7bk4s

Attention STAR WARS FANS: Scientists Create A New Type Of 'Light-saber' Matter Scientists have created a state of mater in which they can make two photons of light interact. A finding they compare to lightsabers from Star Wars. http://read.bi/15IwW0H

The Planets to Scale If a single pixel on your screen equalled about 300 km, the eight planets (sorry Pluto!) would look something like this. Einstein in a Box: "Lunar Launch" box coming October 1st, 2013 www.EinsteinInABox.com

Female Aerospace Pioneers - Elizabeth “Bessie” Coleman In 1921 Elizabeth “Bessie” Coleman, a Texan, became the first civilian (non-military) licensed African-American pilot in the world. She went to France to learn to fly after her brothers, who served in World War II, told her French women were allowed to fly. When she returned to the United States she did air shows: barnstorming, parachute jumping, and giving demonstrations. Coleman would only perform if the audience was not segregated and all people got to enter the show through the same gate.  This courageous and adventurous woman fell from the open cockpit of a plane during a test flight which ended her life on April 30, 1926.  She was enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 2006.
