JWST

A recent segment on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” featured cast member (and Hubble Space Telescope enthusiast) “Milky J” traveling to GSFC in mock protest of the James Webb Space Telescope. SESDA II staff member Maggie Masetti supports the JWST public affairs office and social media effort for the project and so she was right in the thick of things, facilitating the visit by Fallon’s crew and then blogging about her experience (http://bit.ly/athI9z)

This great piece of publicity for JWST attracted a significant amount of attention, with kudos from the main NASA web portal , TV Guide, and various prominent science blogs. Maggie’s blog contains links to the final segment from the Fallon show and many more pictures taken during the shooting.
