Unofficial NASA News Coverage Since 1996. Edited by @KeithCowing

Just to be clear I posted a screen grab and short quote of what @CNN said - not what I have said. I never expressed an opinion. I simply reported what CNN said. Now I guess I have to express an opinion. OK: I do not agree with the conclusion that the cited article reached. The Moon has vast untapped resources we have only begun to understand and it is there that humans will become a multi-planetary species. Permanently. Feel better now?

Moments ago @CNN cited a study saying that very large settlements on the Moon would run out of water and that much smaller bases are more realistic #Artemis @NASAMoonbase

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

We crossed the seas, climbed the mountains, and kept going because we wanted to know what was out there.

We don’t know what we may find, but destiny is calling…

According to @airandspace "Today in 1783, the Montgolfier brothers' balloon launched carrying the first living creatures to fly in a craft: a duck, a rooster, and a sheep. All survived and helped to demonstrate that balloon flight was safe for humans." I decided to see if a little #AI magic would work. Thanks @Grok

We chose to go… and we went. 🇺🇸

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

@NASAStennis helped power America to the Moon during Apollo, and it has an important role to play as we return to stay.

We heard directly from the workforce and visited the historic B-Test Complex, where @blueorigin will test New Glenn’s upper stage through its agreement with NASA. Putting world-class American infrastructure to work with commercial partners is how we move faster, strengthen our industrial base, and stay ahead.

We also met with @USSOCOM leadership and watched Naval Special Warfare’s Special Boat Team 22 conduct an impressive hot extraction demonstration. Incredible capability and professionalism on display.

A great reminder of the extraordinary people and capabilities behind American leadership on Earth and beyond.
