Electrical engineer Marjorie Townsend was NASA's ⭐️first⭐️ female project manager for a spacecraft. #LaSPACE #NASA #WomenInSTEMCrushWednesday #WomenInSTEM #WomanCrushWednesday
While Uhuru played a groundbreaking role in x-ray astronomy, electrical engineer Marjorie Townsend, seen here on the left next to the Uhuru spacecraft at @NASAGoddard in 1970, also broke new ground: she was NASA's first female project manager for a spacecraft. #WomenInSTEM 🛰️ 💯

Relatable Monday issues (😅): The Artemis I launch has been scrubbed after #NASA engineers were unable to cool Engine 3. The agency has back-up launch dates scheduled for Sept. 2 and Sept. 5, although whether the issues will be resolved before then is yet unknown.

Astronauts got jokes 😂 #NationalTellAJokeDay
#OTD in 1973, the Skylab 3 crew left a joke to be discovered by the Skylab 4 crew—test dummies wearing the incoming crew's name tags! Dummy astronauts Carr and Pogue were "conducting research," while dummy Gibson stayed in the waste compartment. 😆 #NationalTellAJokeDay
