@elonmusk Does this mean lunar cycler orbit starships?! Yes, please 🙏🏼

Fun fact about this spacewalk, Mattingly had lost his wedding ring at some point during the mission inside the Command Module (likely when going to the bathroom), when he went on the spacewalk, they had to depressurize the command module, the wedding ring wound up slowly floating out the open hatch during the spacewalk. It floated past Charlie Duke who was supervising the spacewalk, and it hit Mattingly's helmet and bounced back to Duke, who was able to catch it! One of the absolute craziest stories ever!

What a power move! I’m increasing the odds of us getting back on the moon this decade significantly if this holds.

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

I am honored to receive President Trump’s @realDonaldTrump nomination to serve as the next Administrator of NASA. Having been fortunate to see our amazing planet from space, I am passionate about America leading the most incredible adventure in human history.

On my last mission to space, my crew and I traveled farther from Earth than anyone in over half a century. I can confidently say this second space age has only just begun. Space holds unparalleled potential for breakthroughs in manufacturing, biotechnology, mining, and perhaps even pathways to new sources of energy. There will inevitably be a thriving space economy—one that will create opportunities for countless people to live and work in space. At NASA, we will passionately pursue these possibilities and usher in an era where humanity becomes a true spacefaring civilization.

I was born after the Moon landings; my children were born after the final space shuttle launch. With the support of President Trump, I can promise you this: We will never again lose our ability to journey to the stars and never settle for second place. We will inspire children, yours and mine, to look up and dream of what is possible. Americans will walk on the Moon and Mars and in doing so, we will make life better here on Earth.

It is the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role and to work alongside NASA’s extraordinary team to realize our shared dreams of exploration and discovery.

Grateful to serve,

Jared

Meet New Glenn! Our vehicle upended on its launch pad today for the first time. The rocket will remain vertical for at least a week for a series of tests in preparation for its first launch later this year. Thank you to our customers, partners, and everyone else championing efforts to build a road to space for the benefit of Earth. Learn more: https://t.co/jr1ON8Dk1g

The worth of a good man is not measured in money.

@Erdayastronaut With China pushing a different front with their ILRS, I think the Artemis program will see a steady acceleration and capital cash flow to ensure America is the first to establish a lunar base. More countries are setting their eyes on the moon and I’m confident 2025 will be next!

The live-action is here. Grab your headphones and turn it 🆙. Snaps to the team successfully wrapping up an #AeonR Thrust Chamber Assembly test campaign!

The highlights:
🔥 First time deep throttling Aeon R in sequence; 95% ➡️ 65% in one test
🔥 11 full duration hot fires during the campaign
🔥 First time taking a new test article directly to full throttle
🔥 Tested three new configurations in one campaign

Falcon 9 first landing failed!!!! And musk stans are claiming they got “useful data”. LMFAO it EXPLODED!

And they say they are going to “reuse” this. They’ll believe anything.
