NASA Education And PAO Still Ignore NASA's Good Stuff

Keith’s note: NASA’s Space Apps Challenge is an amazing project that is now entering its 10th year. It has a truly global reach and allows NASA to exert some potent and long-lasting soft power. Alas, other than some promotion by SMD, the NASA STEM Engagement Office and NASA Public Affairs ignore this educational activity. This tweet is one example where NASA PAO could have super-turbocharged the reach of this program – and its potential for engagement – simply by retweeting. But no. They won’t lift a finger to do that.

Just think of the vast increase in audience reach – nationally and globally – that @SpaceApps could have it #NASA PAO simply gave this tweet a simple retweet via @NASA – 47.5 MILLION instead of just 27.8 THOUSAND #spaceapps https://t.co/dO7x2RQGLb
