Australia supported us on Apollo and are with us again as we fly astronauts around the moon for the first time in over 50 years.

[Rach loves Space @Rachlovesspace]

So inspiring.

In just a few days, we'll be sending humans on a flight around the Moon. Have you watched our documentary series on the mission?

In 2002, Gwynne Shotwell was a 38-year-old single mom with a stable aerospace job when she walked into a dingy El Segundo office to drop off a colleague. Elon Musk cornered her for ten minutes, grilled her on the rocket business, and created a VP of Sales role on the spot. She agonized for weeks (private space was a graveyard of failed startups) but one day on the LA freeway she grabbed her phone and called him: “I’ve been a fucking idiot. I’m taking the job.” She became roughly employee #7.

Three Falcon 1 launches exploded in 2006–2007. SpaceX was days from bankruptcy. While engineers scrambled, Gwynne kept selling anyway. She flew to Iridium, closed a make-or-break deal tilted heavily in the customer’s favor because she believed so fiercely it would work. Then, on September 28, 2008, the fourth Falcon 1 finally reached orbit. Hours later she and Elon walked into NASA and sealed a $1.6 billion contract to resupply the space station— pulling the company back from the brink.

That single mom who bet everything became president and COO, the reason SpaceX didn’t die and the reason it now flies more rockets than the rest of the world combined. Legend. 🚀

Highlights from today's unexpected but MUCH appreciated Boeing Starliner press conference (strange there were no Boeing reps on hand...)

NASA just escalated Starliner to a Type A mishap — and publicly blamed both Boeing and itself.

The letter calls out schedule pressure, certification issues, management influence, and leadership failures.

This is one of the strongest accountability statements we’ve seen from NASA in years. Bravo, Jared.

A THIRTEEN-year-old girl was bought for FIVE POUNDS.

The journalist who exposed it was the one they sent to prison. The men who sold her walked free.

His name was W.T. Stead. Editor of the Pall Mall Gazette.

In 1885, the age of consent in Britain was thirteen. A bill to raise it had failed in Parliament three times. Nobody cared enough to act.

Stead decided to prove how easy it was to buy a child. He arranged the purchase of a thirteen-year-old girl called Eliza Armstrong. Price: five pounds.

Then he published everything.

Four days of front-page exposés. "The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon." The most shocking investigation Victorian journalism had ever seen.

W.H. Smith refused to sell the paper. So people bought it on the streets. Copies changed hands for twenty times the cover price.

The Salvation Army gathered 393,000 signatures. Ten thousand people besieged the office demanding more copies.

On 14 August 1885, Parliament raised the age of consent to sixteen.

Then they arrested Stead. Three months in prison. His crime: proving the system worked exactly as he said it did.

He wore his prison uniform on the anniversary every year for the rest of his life.

In 1912, he boarded a ship to New York. The Titanic. When it struck the iceberg, he gave away his lifejacket. His body was never recovered.

His memorial in Central Park reads: "Numbered amongst those who, dying nobly, enabled others to live."

This is what Britain is made of. And the world needs to know it.

No. He is not lip syncing.

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

Well it is official now..

I want to again express my sincere appreciation to President Donald J. Trump @POTUS for nominating me to lead NASA, and to the United States Senate--and Chairman Cruz @tedcruz - for their diligence and fairness throughout the confirmation process. I am grateful to Secretary Duffy @SecDuffy for his leadership as Acting Administrator during this transition, and to my wife Monica, my family, my friend Senator Sheehy @TimSheehyMT and everyone who offered their support along the way.

As I step into this role, I make these personal commitments:

– Mission: I will champion the bold objectives of human space exploration, scientific discovery, and a thriving orbital economy that ensures America’s leadership in space. We will never again give up our capabilities to reach for the stars, and we will never settle for second place.

– Integrity: I will serve responsibly, transparently, and without personal gain, covering every cost I am legally permitted to, and fully adhering to my ethics agreement. My loyalty is to my country, my President, and the space agency that has inspired me since I was a child.

– Urgency: I will intensely focus the agency on achieving the near-impossible, the very reason NASA was established in the first place. We will eliminate the bureaucracy that impedes progress and empower the best and brightest to take ownership, move quickly, accept smart risks, and act with a relentless focus on mission success.

– Inspiration: Every launch, every scientific breakthrough must inspire the next generation to dream bigger, to reach higher, and believe that anything is possible. In addition to my existing philanthropic efforts, I will donate my salary as Administrator to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s Space Camp to help prepare the pioneers of tomorrow.

I am humbled by this opportunity, proud to serve, and ready to work alongside the most talented minds in America as we continue the greatest adventure in human history.

Sincerely,
Jared Isaacman
NASA Administrator
