"We are not going to launch today."
Due to the weather conditions, the launch is scrubbing. Our next opportunity will be Saturday, May 30 at 3:22pm ET. Live #LaunchAmerica coverage will begin at 11am ET.

With Phase 1 of DC’s reopening starting Friday, you may see it as Photo 1 (at the end of Return of the Jedi). But remember, it’s more like Photo 2 (from the end of Star Wars). As the Jedi Winston Churchill said, this is not the beginning of the end, but the end of the beginning.

We believe explorers deserve a warm welcome wherever they travel, which is why we’re making our signature DoubleTree Cookie the first food ever baked fresh in space. #CookiesInSpace hil.tn/5c8tBu
Astronomy Night on the National Mall has started! Learn about space and astronomy, and look through telescopes at the sun (until it sets) and stars. Event is next to the Smithsonian Metro Station (Mall side) until 11 pm. #AstronomyNight

Yes, it's COLD (wind chills near 0) but great thing about this #LunarEclipse is that you can go outside & look straight up... enjoy for a minute or two, and then come right back in. Warm up, and then take another look if you want an encore. Continues another 40 mins or so.

Hard to think of a better thought to close on. Thanks to all for watching this season. For those who haven't caught up yet (including those bingers waiting for the season to end), the NatGeoTV site & app have you covered. #MARS
