Turn your eyes to the sky this weekend because this only happens once in a Blue Moon.🔵
Seriously! It's your chance to spot a Blue Moon! But what does that mean? Learn what makes this event unique & why certain full moons have special names: https://t.co/jRpsSMmJKT
NASA is aware of the anomaly that occurred tonight at Launch Complex 36 involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Spaceflight is unforgiving, and developing new heavy-lift launch capability is extraordinarily difficult. We will work with our partners to support a thorough investigation of this anomaly, assess near-term mission impacts, and get back to launching rockets.
We will provide information on any impacts to the Artemis and Moon Base programs as it becomes available.
First and foremost, I’m grateful there are no reported injuries and thankful for Florida’s Space Coast first responders, engineers, and launch crews who acted quickly.
New Glenn is a critical launch vehicle for future commercial, national security, and NASA missions, including key components of the Artemis program. I have spoken with @NASAAdmin Jared Issacman, and we are closely monitoring the situation and working to better understand any potential impacts on upcoming lunar missions and other planned launches.
All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.
Soon... full moon!
The next full moon will light the night skies on Sunday, May 31. If you've ever wanted to take a great picture of the Moon, check out our Lunar Photography Guide for tips and tricks: https://t.co/wp8uMt6pVP

Proud to be part of the team supporting the future of human space exploration.
Exciting to see Amentum’s work helping advance critical Artemis research and mission readiness as NASA prepares for the next era of lunar exploration.

On Tuesday, June 9, we’ll announce the four astronauts who will orbit Earth aboard the @NASAArtemis III mission!
Watch our live event at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC) to find out who will test the docking capabilities necessary for crewed Moon landings: https://t.co/TyU7StKGxH
The near impossible is becoming possible.
We are building toward a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole. It begins with Phase 1: CLPS landers and LTV rovers testing the “science of survival” on the lunar surface before heavy HLS cargo landers deliver the mass and infrastructure needed for an enduring presence.
We are building the Moon Base for all we will learn, the innovation that will improve life on Earth, the inspiration for the next generation of explorers, and to master the skills needed for where we will inevitably go next...Mars.
The Golden Age of lunar exploration has begun.
Had a blast with @rookisaacman and the incredible men & women at Johnson Space Center last night! 🚀
Wishing the astronauts on Artemis II a safe and speedy re-entry later today. 👨🚀
All my love and congratulations to @NASA and @NASAArtemis crew (and everyone involved) for a successful mission!!!! Making the impossible look easy! -B #NASA
Our crew on the @Space_Station caught a glimpse of the @NASAArtemis II crew as they re-entered the atmosphere from their journey to the Moon! We first saw a bright light and a trail as the service module burned up. We didn’t see the Orion capsule itself as it re-entered, but we saw the wispy trail it left behind in the upper atmosphere. Overjoyed that our friends are safely back on Earth after their awe-inspiring mission!
