Hubble Space Telescope or Stanley Cup? 🤔
Pictured first is a photo of the
@NASAHubble Space Telescope, not the
@nhl ’s Stanley Cup, but we wanted to congratulate the
@flapanthers on their first championship win! Their triumph on the ice highlights Florida’s growing dominance in hockey over the past five years. The excitement in the Sunshine State extends far beyond the rink.
Florida is home to
@NASAKennedy Space Center, America’s premier multi-user spaceport, where some of the most groundbreaking space missions begin – including Hubble’s own launch from Launch Complex 39B in 1990! Just as Florida’s hockey teams lead on the ice, Kennedy Space Center leads the nation in space exploration.
Whether it’s lifting the Stanley Cup or launching into space, Florida is at the forefront, driving the U.S. to new heights. Here’s to the Panthers and to the stars!
