Short notice: Next NASASocial is Jan. 18 at the mothership, NASA HQ in Washington, DC. Registration is tonight, until Wednesday the 16th, from which they will select 75 people, and coincides with the inauguration of Barack Obama. ("Who? We're here to see the spacemen!")

It's a good event if you haven't gone for one that uses social media - Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, G+, among others. You get out what you put in - I've developed my social networking skills, and made some friends who have also been my professional friends as well.

This NASA Social is an opportunity to obtain a reserved seat during the open house and gain behind-the-scenes access to NASA’s talented people, including astronauts, mission management, and communicators.

During the event, participants will participate in four interactive sessions covering topics including NASA’s plans for the future of human spaceflight; the importance of technology innovation to our future; science on the International Space Station; and NASA’s ongoing and future missions to Mars. Additionally, the NASA Social participants will be treated to a special behind-the-scenes session about living and working in space.

Thank you Hart for the heads up.

NASA Socials (tweetups) are great events to attend with our fellow space fans and space supportors.
