I love getting out to the Centers where the action is, hearing from those doing the work, and especially admiring them as they do the work.
What the pictures don’t show is the @NASA team, along with our industry partners, working hardware for Artemis III and even Artemis IV. We have core stage III in the VAB and RS-25s engines have started to arrive. There are multiple Orions being assembled and tested, including preparations to mate the improved heat shield for Artemis III.
Take a moment to think about this.. there are people working at @NASAKennedy and other NASA Centers right now, touching the hardware that will soon carry the astronauts of Artemis III and Artemis IV. They are working on the spaceships that will help return astronauts to the surface of the Moon 🇺🇸
The Artemis Generation is here.
Artemis III will help us get into the rhythm of multi-launch campaigns, test new capabilities close to home, and then take the next step toward building a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole.
NASA is proud to see 31 Artemis Accords partners in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The same spirit that brings nations together here on Earth is helping shape the future of exploration on the Moon. Through the Artemis Accords, we’re advancing the safe and peaceful exploration of space together. Welcome to the U.S. and we will see you soon on the Moon!

President Trump welcomes the astronauts of the Artemis II mission to the Oval Office.
President Trump founded the Artemis program in his first term.
Now, with the successful Artemis II mission, NASA is taking a major step forward in returning to the Moon, where we’re building a Moon base, to stay.
Looking forward to celebrating this crew with @POTUS today.
