“If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.” – Martin Luther King Jr. Inspired by his words, we push the boundaries of exploration, moving forward for the benefit of humanity.

Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole. In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.

Congratulations to this year’s @SpaceApps Global Winners! The 10 winning projects use our open data to tackle real-world challenges, like identifying seismic activity on Earth and mapping exoplanets: https://t.co/i2eUB0TfTt https://t.co/5aD9dxIKjY
