This is Mars exploration like I’ve dreamed of for 20+ years: a fast, affordable, inspiring mission paving the way for 👩‍🚀🧑🏿‍🚀👨‍🚀. Ingenuity showed this could happen very soon, without breaking the bank.

Thrilled to work w/ brilliant @aerovironment MacCready Works & @NASAJPL teams!

[AV @aerovironment]

We made history with Ingenuity, the first powered flight on another planet. Now, we’re ready to do it again. Introducing Skyfall: a potential future Mars mission concept developed with @NASAJPL for next-gen Mars Helicopters to help explore resources, scout potential landing sites, and pave the way for America’s first Martian astronauts.

[Women in Aviation International @WomenInAviation]

The 2027 Women in Aviation International (WAI) scholarship program is officially open, and members can review dozens of scholarships at https://t.co/mbQb61NKOT. ✈️🤩

Currently, there are over 50 scholarships valued at more than $200,000 offered for flight training, engineering, maintenance, dispatch, drones, and career advancement for individuals in all stages of life. This 2027 scholarship cycle includes two Harvard Emerging Leaders professional development courses–on campus in May 2027 and online in June 2027. There are more than 10 new scholarships to further members’ learning in flight training, space engineering, aviation management, and aircraft maintenance. Applicants are encouraged to check for new scholarships often and may apply for up to three scholarships per year.

“WAI believes in shaping the future of our industry by investing in the people who will meet the needs of our growing global aviation workforce," says WAI CEO Lynda Coffman. "Our annual scholarship program is one of the most meaningful benefits of WAI membership, and we are deeply grateful for the generosity of our scholarship funders and supporters.”

The total amount of scholarships awarded by WAI since 1995 is more than $17 million. 

Recipients will be awarded during the 38th Annual Women in Aviation International Conference in Savannah, Georgia, from February 25-27, 2027. To qualify for a scholarship, the applicant must be a WAI member as of August 30, 2026. Applications must be submitted to  WAI by 11:59 p.m. EDT September 1, 2026, and winners will be notified by December 15, 2026. Details of each scholarship, application requirements, FAQs, plus tips for submitting a winning application can be found at https://t.co/mbQb61NKOT.

The shadows of things to come.

NASA’s fleet of orbiters, rovers, and helicopters at Mars have helped us know before we go, providing key information about landing sites, weather conditions, and much more.

[Tiffany Coutris @TiffanyACoutris]

If you’re in DC, make @NASA HQ a stop.

Completely transformed with a donut shop, incredible artifacts, models, interactive experiences, and more, it’s a reminder that exploration is no longer something of the past. It’s happening right now.

The Golden Age of exploration is here.

[Dave Limp @davill]

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

Konsta Helenius with the second IIHF World Championship golden goal for the #Sabres in as many years — he joins Tage Thompson. Finland beats Switzerland, 1-0.

[Dave Limp @davill]

We have regained some access to Launch Complex 36 and are actively investigating the hotfire anomaly. We will start clearing the pad soon and have a good rebuild plan in place. The booster and GS2s in the integration facility appear healthy from quick looks.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

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🇺🇸

[Jeff Greason @JeffGreason]

In the spirit of "never let a crisis go to waste", use this moment. If we need to quarter troops, bulldoze things for national emergency, use the defense production act, WHATEVER -- extend KSC north (Playalinda Beach) so we can build pads with proper spacing for LOX/LNG HLV.

It’s probably a good time to repost the rules I learned over the course of many accident investigations

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

Debris from our recent hotfire anomaly may wash ashore in the coming days/weeks. If you encounter any debris, do not touch or approach it for your safety.

[Kiko Dontchev @TurkeyBeaver]

Couldn’t agree more with Shana. Thinking about the entire team at Blue. We’ve been there before and there are very few things worse than losing a vehicle on the pad. Remember @blueorigin, it’s the darkest before the dawn and you will be measured not by this anomaly, but by how you respond. We are all rooting for you to get safely back to flight as soon as possible!

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

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.

[Jeff Bezos @JeffBezos]

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.
