Dragon really is going away, so NASA is making some contingency plans for human spaceflight. Is everyone ready for Starliner supremacy?

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

For This Week in Space on the Star Trek 60th, we visited with Mike Okuda, the Cardinal of Canon, to talk all things Trek and beyond. It was a rare treat! @nss @twit @tariqjmalik @SPACEdotcom @MikeOkuda https://t.co/K8HLoeU9V7

NASA and IBM have developed an AI model to help sift through the mountains of data the agency has gathered about the moon. https://t.co/ksjGbx8lsM

#OTD in 1962, President John F. Kennedy stood at Rice University in Houston and gave voice to a challenge that would inspire a generation and help set humanity on a course for the Moon.

What began as a bold vision became footprints on the Moon. Now, we’re building on that legacy and taking the next giant leap: building humanity’s first lunar outpost.

The problem of orbital debris has not gotten enough attention, but this is changing. Join TWiS for a conversation with Adam Kall of KMI Space to learn about their ambitious plan for orbital debris remediation. @nss @twit @lisadlaporte @tariqjmalik

The Artemis program is headed to the lunar poles, and we need to figure out how to best explore the region. Dr. David Kring of the Universities Space Research Association's Lunar and Planetary Institute joins us. @nss @twit @USRAedu https://t.co/I7NrfkCAbr

Orbiting over wavy green auroras! Moments like these are some of the most surreal in spaceflight. What a view!

After China formally delays Chang'e 7 into 2027, the race to the South Pole of the Moon is back on.

It was my pleasure to personally host NASA leadership in Montana to align around the Ignition priorities and make sure the team is focused and moving safely and urgently.

Decisions of the past have made the second space race closer than it ever needed to be. Under @POTUS’ national space policy, and with the resources from the Working Family Tax Cut Act, we have the tools to accelerate Artemis, return American astronauts to the Moon, build the base, rebuild the X-plane portfolio, launch more missions of science and discovery, and get America underway on nuclear power in space so the third race will never be in question.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

A great week visiting some of the teams across American industry helping make Artemis III possible.

From Collins Aerospace @RTX_News and @ScotForge to @L3HarrisTech and @blueorigin, it was great to get on the factory floor, see the hardware coming together, and talk with the teams behind it.

Returning American astronauts to the Moon is an enormous undertaking. It takes the best of NASA and American industry working together to deliver.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

Grateful to @POTUS, Director Kratsios @mkratsios47, and the entire OSTP team for spearheading a policy that will ensure American leadership in space 🚀🇺🇸

[Phil Metzger @DrPhiltill]

We can announce the news! 🥳

I’m excited to be part of the EMILIA-3D team developing an instrument that will fly to the lunar surface. My role is to understand how the plume affects the landing site and to improve plume physics with the new measurements.

China aims to launch its Chang'e 7 moon mission on Aug. 24 to send a lander, a rover, a hopper and a wide range of science experiments to the lunar south pole. https://t.co/WiA0Wh0Mfv

Multiple nations are headed to the moon. Some plan to build bases there. How will this play out? Dr. Scott Pace of George Washington University joins This Week in Space to discuss. @twit @nss @tariqjmalik
