WVU retired my number yesterday. 🏔️
My family — this is yours.
@PatMcAfee — you made this happen. Love you, brother.
My teammates — WE built this.
Everyone who reached out — I felt it all.
Mountaineer forever.
We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy.
Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead.
There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems.
We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes.
@NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible.
America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸
Blessing to be in this position a prayer that’s been answered 🙏🏽 for sure! looking forward to learning and working hard to helping build the culture and tradition coach Rod Instilled
In me and former players at WVU 💛💙
It’s the attention to detail.. how you do anything is how you do everything type mindset.
Coach Rod’s lessons didn’t all land with me while I was at WVU.. a lot of them hit later in my life. “Coach Rod was right” became a very regular thought while trying to become a pro and run my business.
That’s why all of us who played for him know that he’ll win.
Let’s GOOOOO
