Rocket engines, smoke, and fire FTW! #NASASocial

My blog, and the accompanying social media, has brought me some incredible experiences in my life. The people I've met, the places I've visited, things I've experienced that I never even thought of doing, I have done.

Live jazz at Preservation Hall in New Orleans, a sister bonding trip to Beaches in Turks & Caicos, driving up the southern California coast to go “glamping” with friends, standing on-stage for a pop punk concert at the Vans Warped Tour. Things I never knew I'd want to do until I was presented the opportunity.

Well this afternoon, I embark on what might be the craziest of these adventures yet. I'm boarding a plane to Salt Lake City, from where I'll head to Promontory, Utah to witness this:

What?!?!?

I have been invited to join NASA and ATK to see the test firing for the largest, most powerful booster ever built for the Space Launch System (SLS) — NASA's new heavy-lift rocket in development to enable missions farther into space than ever before.

I will have NASA Social Credentials, and will be live tweeting/Instagramming/Facebooking the whole experience. Of course, it'll all get a rundown on the blog after I get home, but be sure to follow along later this week to see stuff as it's happening!

Follow me on Twitter (@Lizz_Porter) and Instagram (@Lizz_Porter) to see everything I post, and follow the #NASASocial and #SLSFiredUp hashtags to see posts from the other 39 social media folks I'll be touring with.

I would also suggest you follow @NASASocial, @NASA_SLS, and @ATK on Twitter, NASA on Facebook, and on Google+.

3… 2… 1… Let's go!

Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! Thing number one, I'm tall. I've been told I should have a warning on my blog, so here it is! I am taller in real life than I appear on the internet. Want to know more than this "short" version? Go here to read more about me and my family, and for links to some of my favorite posts.
