Introduce yourself! (And show us your swag)

[RetreusOmega]

Well where do I start... my name is Josh but I go by JD. im a huge nerd, geek what ever you wanna labe it lol. I love almost all the various Field of science, I've always been passionate about space, and the ocean. The fact we know so little of both fascinates me. I used to be super involved with different forms and groups when I was younger but got kinda pushed out of it for a while, I'm now trying to jump back into the online society and what better place to do so then somewhere where everyone is passionate and has a deep love for science and space.

Hey space fans! I'm Kim and I'm the reference editor for Space.com. I'm a general science and space nerd. Feel free to ask me anything, and if I don't know the answer I will probably know where to find it

I don't have a whole lot of space swag, but my uncle retired from the Johnson Space Center a few years ago (he's an aerospace engineer and built parts for the ISS!), and he used to give everyone in my family NASA T-shirts for Christmas, so I have a pretty decent collection. Here's a ridiculous picture of me sporting an Apollo 11 shirt this summer on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.

Hi - so fun to meet another whose space things reach back to childhood! Happy Holiday!

I am Ellen and my Father did things for NASA in the 60s - and his hand helped fashion the gold foil we see on the Lunar Lander. I work in arts and am finally getting to do the Aero/Astral art that inspired me lifelong. In fact, my Dad , before the space event, kept the secrets as we made and shared the crushed aluminum foil 3-D star , lighted and very large that reigned over our home every Christmas as from Bethlehem. People came from all over the area to see that star and no one knew that it was a CLUE - a promise of the much fancier crushed foils to come! So nice to be here hope I can stay.

Hi folks, Stevie here!

Wanted to pop in and say hello to you fine people! I’m one of your new Community Managers. My background is in Scifi online games, I’ve been working with CCP Games on EVE Online and off since 2007. I was also part of the launch team and CM for VR rift launch title EVE: Valkyrie, worked with Star Citizen at UK meets and Insomnia Gaming Festival, which is a fun gaming event here in the UK.

In my spare time I enjoy streaming games, watching scifi and collecting supergirl merch. I’m also an ambassador for SpecialEffect, the gamers charity. SpecialEffect work with people with disabilities, developing controller set-ups, eye tracking tech and working with developers on accessibility in games (which is also a passion of mine).

I’m really looking forward to working on these forums, and chatting about Space and sci-fi in its many forms. I really enjoy working with passionate communities, and am 'over the moon' (Lol) to be able to be working with you folks.

Feel free to reply with anything you’d like me to know about you! If you wanna reply with your coolest bit of Space Swag, that would be awesome!

This is me in my Space Industries NASA jacket, which I love more then anything.

Fly Safe,
Stevie

Hi - so fun to meet others some of whose whose space things reach back to childhood! Happy Holiday to all !

I am Ellen and my Father did things for NASA in the 60s - and his hand helped fashion the gold foil we see on the Lunar Lander. I work in arts and am finally getting to do the Aero/Astral art that inspired me lifelong. I studied Astronomy a bit in college under NASA's well-known Phil Stern, but my life with my beautiful husband was Wellcome chemistry and the later Human Genome was their claim to fame.


Both are passed away and I am studying and making the astral art and learning new things daily...hope you can feel like commenting helpfully here.
