JPL needs to get off of exTwitter. I am not feeding that site anymore traffic.
I'd love to see a NASA-hosted Mastodon insance. Until then, you can use a FOSS Xitter viewer like nitter:

Update: Due to unfavorable weather conditions, #MissionToPsyche is now targeting a Friday, Oct. 13, launch. go.nasa.gov/45qCd0T
