My first knowledge about NASA's public relations was from the movie The Martian directed by Ridley Scott in the year 2015. From that movie, I learn that public companies need to release information to the public as soon as possible and in one scene, NASA's PR stated that they need to call a press conference to inform the public about astronaut Mark Watney condition on Mars in 24 hours after their first lead. I also learned that NASA couldn't issue a statement that quote they will bring the presumed-dead astronaut back to earth alive. And when NASA established communication with astronaut Mark Watney, he typed in profanities in his messages. As a result, US president called NASA to address his manner. You should watch the details in the rest of the movie but my point is that NASA has a great PR team and great response to the critical information in relation to the interests of their affiliates, general public, and other constituents. Talking about informing the public on their interests, I just got an email from NASA which is pretty cool to me, I never thought that NASA would actually reach out to me in my lifetime but they did. For that, I thank NASA PR team.

On April 13th, NASA via the Virtual Guest Ops Team was sending me an update about their Crew-2 space mission that will be launched in April twenty second. The live broadcast will available on launch day starting at 2 a.m. EDT. Earlier, I registered to virtually join NASA to launch NASA's SpaceX Crew-2, which means I will be watching the launch on a live broadcast. So in that email, they send me an update so that I will quote, have all the latest information about the launch and participation opportunities.

They also tell a brief summary of the crew and how I can keep in touch with NASA, how I can keep informed via hash tag launch America and use a Launch America filter for Facebook profile picture, and how I can spread the information by forwarding the email to family and friends. So I'm well informed that the contents in this email wasn't exclusive or too private to share with others.

Guess what NASA Virtual Guest Ops Team, I did use the hashtag and the Facebook profile picture filter, as well as forwarding the email to people. I guess I just acted upon an actionable information that makes the communication effective. NASA will get public's participation, we will get experience of a huge leap in STEM and space exploration, and public relations too. Now, we take note what exactly we can do to manage and sustain a mutually beneficial relationship between organizations and the public.
