Happy birthday, Neil Armstrong! Space travel relies on chemistry: liquid hydrogen fuel powers rockets and smart polymers shield suits. Celebrating space history as three-time NC State alum and NASA astronaut Christina Koch comes home Aug 24 and 25! #neilarmstron #christinakoch #chempack #wolfpack
Hauling a minifridge up 3 flights of stairs in NC heat? Plain water isn't enough! 📦☀️ When you sweat during Move-In, you lose electrolytes like sodium and potassium. Chugging plain water dilutes those key ions. Pair water with electrolytes to avoid cramps! 🧪🥤 #chempack #wolfpack #electrolytes
