NASA will be hosting a “tweet chat” tomorrow with the space agency’s Commercial Crew & Cargo Program Office manager Ed Mango. The chat will take place at 2 p.m. EDT. The chat is being held to detail NASA’s efforts to regain the ability to launch U.S. astronauts to orbit.

NASA has been increasing its social media presence with Twitter at the forefront of these efforts. The space agency is preparing for the upcoming launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and its Dragon spacecraft. This launch will be crucial in determing how well NASA’s commercial efforts are faring.

  1. That’s not Ed Mango’s title. Ed manages the Commercial Crew Program. The manager of the Commercial Crew & Cargo Program Office (C3PO) is Alan Lindenmoyer.

  2. Hi Ed – Thanks! if you watch the lead video – that’s what Ed called himself – so that is what we listed him as.

    Sincerely and with thanks, Jason Rhian
