HOUSTON—Calling it a privilege to work in such a dynamic and collaborative environment, NASA social media manager Dustin Greer, 26, told reporters Wednesday he considers himself fortunate to be a part of the space agency’s team.
rover’s landing on Mars as examples, Greer told reporters it was hard not to take immense pride in the landmark achievements he and his colleagues have made since he was first hired to run NASA’s social media presence. Greer, who majored in communications at DePaul University and joined NASA after a summer marketing internship with the e-commerce site Groupon, added that behind the agency’s awe-inspiring feats are countless long days and sleepless nights that most Americans never see.
The employee tasked with curating the agency’s LinkedIn page was also quick to point out that at NASA, he and his fellow staff members are always expected to place the mission ahead of their own personal egos.
“Preparing for the last [International Space] Station resupply required all hands on deck,” Greer said of the recent mission, which he documented and shared on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #NASASocial. “The technicians were working around the clock to monitor the rocket, the meteorologists were closely assessing atmospheric conditions, and the whole time I was juggling tweets covering the launch with that week’s Periscope tour of the Kennedy Space Center.
While stating that he thoroughly enjoys his work, Greer admitted to reporters that with so much at stake in their day-to-day operations, he, like everyone at NASA, tends to place an enormous amount of pressure on himself to avoid letting down his colleagues.
Added Greer: “This job isn’t for everyone. It’s a high-stress environment, but man, it’s such a payoff when we take a look at everything we’ve accomplished.”
