OMG I'm so hyped about this Mars thingy 🚀💫. Like, can you believe NASA and Blue Origin are finally going to ESCAPADE into space? 🤯 It's like, we've been learning about the solar wind in school for ages and now it's actually happening! 😆 The fact that they're gonna study how space weather affects Mars' atmosphere is so cool. I mean, who wouldn't wanna explore the Red Planet, right? 🔴🌎 I'm sure my physics teacher, Mrs Johnson, would be super proud of this mission 🙏. I'm definitely applying for media accreditation - can you imagine getting to see that launch up close?! 😍
 
Space agencies are just delaying the inevitable... I mean, who needs a confirmed target date for the launch of this Mars mission when you're already planning to send humans to Mars in the next decade? 🚀💔 Still gotta worry about space weather affecting atmospheric escape on the Red Planet. Not exactly groundbreaking news, if you ask me... 👎
 
Ugh, can't believe these space companies think they're so cool by sending a couple of robots to Mars 🚀. I mean, we've been stuck on this planet for like 200 years and suddenly it's an adventure to send some tin cans there? Give me a break 💔. And what's with the ESCAPADE name? Sounds like something from a bad sci-fi movie 🎥. At least they're trying to figure out how space weather affects Mars' atmosphere, but who knows what kinda drama those scientists are gonna find on that barren planet? 😒
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s crazy that we’re already talking about the launch of a Mars mission 🚀. Like, isn’t that still sci-fi stuff from movies and books? I guess that's what happens when tech companies like Blue Origin and NASA start pushing the boundaries of space exploration 💻. It's actually kind of cool to see all these private companies joining forces with the government on this project. And can we talk about how awesome it is that we get to learn more about the solar wind and atmospheric escape? I mean, who knew there was so much going on in space weather that could affect our understanding of Mars 🌌. Anyway, good luck to all those media folks trying to score accreditation for this mission – fingers crossed they can cover the whole thing without any hiccups 😅.
 
I'm super stoked for this Mars launch 🚀! Finally, we're getting closer to understanding how the solar wind affects those Martian vibes. This ESCAPADE mission is going to be a game-changer for space exploration. I mean, who wouldn't want to know more about the Red Planet's atmosphere? 🌌 It's like, our tiny home in the universe is still full of mysteries.

And can you believe it's part of NASA's Small Innovative Missions program? That's the kind of innovative thinking we need to make space travel more accessible and affordable. Plus, with Rocket Lab on board, this mission is going to be a wild ride! 🚀 I've got my eyes on that online submission portal, gotta get those media credentials ready to cover this historic event live from Mars! 📺
 
🚀 OMG can you even imagine being part of a team that gets to launch into space 🤯? I'm literally so hyped for this ESCAPADE mission to Mars!!! It's crazy to think they're actually gonna study the solar wind and its effect on atmospheric escape... like, who knew there was so much science to be discovered in space? 🌠 I'm low-key excited that it's a twin spacecraft tho... means more data, more discoveries! 📚 I've been following NASA's updates and it seems like they're being super secretive about the launch date, but I guess that's just part of the thrill, right? 😏 Can't wait to see what kind of scoop we get from this mission!
 
Mars is calling 🚀💫 and I gotta say, the thought of those twin spacecraft diving into space weather has me intrigued. As someone who's spent their fair share of years gazing up at the night sky, it's wild to think we're on the cusp of unlocking some serious secrets about our celestial neighbor. Rocket Lab's got some clever tech going on with that twin spacecraft design – I'm curious to see how it all comes together.

But what really gets me is the whole "complex relationship between solar wind and atmospheric escape" vibe 🌠. It sounds like this mission could be a game-changer for our understanding of Mars' environment. I mean, think about it – if we can crack that code, we might just uncover some hidden gems (or valleys?) on the Red Planet.

For me, the real excitement isn't so much the science itself, but the fact that we're pushing the boundaries of what's thought possible 🚀💥. It's a reminder that even in our golden years, there's still so much to explore and discover – and I'm loving every minute of it!
 
OMG u guys NASA & Blue Orig are like finally gonna send a spacecraft to Mars 🚀🔥 I'm so hyped for the ESCAPADE mission! It's gonna study space weather and how it affects atmospheric escape - that's super interesting. The fact that there's no confirmed launch date yet is kinda annoying tho... do they want us media folks to get excited or not lol? Rocket Lab designed the twin spacecraft and NASA's got this whole program funded by the Heliophysics Division 🤓. I wish we could get some behind-the-scenes vids of the prelaunch activities tho, that'd be sick!
 
🚀😊 I'm totally stoked to hear that these space companies are teaming up for a mission to Mars! Can you imagine being part of the crew who gets to explore the unknown and uncover some serious secrets about our solar system? 💫 It's like, we're on the cusp of something HUGE here! 🤯 I know it can be super intimidating to think about all the tech and science that goes into this mission, but honestly, I'm rooting for these astronauts and scientists who are pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.

Ugh, can you believe it? People actually think they're qualified to cover space launches just 'cause they've got a Twitter account 🙄. I mean, NASA and Blue Origin are basically inviting anyone with an online presence to crash the party. Like, what's next? Are we gonna let just anyone attend the Oscars? 🤦‍♀️

And don't even get me started on the application process. "Submit by October 13th"? That's like asking people to solve world hunger in a day. Can you imagine the number of fake news outlets and wannabe journalists applying for those credentials? 🚀📰 It's gonna be chaos.

But hey, if you're actually interested in space science and aren't just there for the Instagram pics, go ahead and submit your application. Just don't expect me to be covering it live on Twitter... I'll be too busy fact-checking all the misinformation 😒.
 
.. have you guys been paying attention? 🙄 They're sending two spacecraft to Mars to study the solar wind and its effects on atmospheric escape. Like, isn't that a pretty basic concept of space science or what? I mean, I'm all for groundbreaking missions and all, but come on, we've known about this stuff for decades.

And let's talk about the application process – October 13th by 11:59 p.m.? What, are they trying to make sure nobody actually gets in? 🤔 And no confirmed launch date yet? Yeah, because that's not a red flag at all. Anyway, I guess it's cool that there's an online portal for media accreditation and whatnot. Just don't expect me to be covering the whole thing on my socials – I've got better things to do than tweet about space weather 24/7. 🚀
