Just the beginning of a legendary night at the People’s House. 📸🇺🇸

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

UNBELIEVABLE flyover at @UFC Freedom 250 🇺🇸

God Bless America.

[U.S. Air Force @usairforce]

What’s better than a rare Super Delta formation featuring the Thunderbirds and the @USNavy Blue Angels over Washington, D.C.?

Watching it from four different views for #UFCWhiteHouse as part of #Freedom250. 🇺🇸

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Decline was a choice. Not anymore.

In just 14 months, @POTUS has restored our nation’s capital, making it SAFE & BEAUTIFUL.

🧵 500+ instances of graffiti cleaned, 153 homeless encampments removed, 22 fountains restored, 28 statues cleaned, & more. Check out some of the wins ⬇️

[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🇺🇸

Less than 12 hours after a Blue Origin anomaly event at the Cape, SpaceX just had a successful Falcon 9 launch. Space is hard, but NASA and Space Force will continue working with Blue, Space X and all our commercial partners at the Cape to keep our nation leading the world in space. Ad Astra.

[Mike Haridopolos @MikeHaridopolos]

First and foremost, I’m grateful there are no reported injuries and thankful for Florida’s Space Coast first responders, engineers, and launch crews who acted quickly.

New Glenn is a critical launch vehicle for future commercial, national security, and NASA missions, including key components of the Artemis program. I have spoken with @NASAAdmin Jared Issacman, and we are closely monitoring the situation and working to better understand any potential impacts on upcoming lunar missions and other planned launches.

[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.

[Congressman Mike Haridopolos @RepHaridopolos]

I’ve already spoken with @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman regarding the explosion of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket tonight at Cape Canaveral’s Space Force Station. I am grateful there were no reported injuries and thankful for the first responders, engineers, and launch crews who acted quickly. Praying for Florida’s Space Coast and everyone involved. 🇺🇸

[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.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

We do this too 🇺🇸

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

The entire event yesterday, launching missions, landers, rovers, tech demos building a Moon Base, and sci-fi capabilities like MoonFall, brought to you by those who Dare Mighty Things. Just the very beginning. What a time 🇺🇸

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

The near impossible is becoming possible.

We are building toward a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole. It begins with Phase 1: CLPS landers and LTV rovers testing the “science of survival” on the lunar surface before heavy HLS cargo landers deliver the mass and infrastructure needed for an enduring presence.

We are building the Moon Base for all we will learn, the innovation that will improve life on Earth, the inspiration for the next generation of explorers, and to master the skills needed for where we will inevitably go next...Mars.

The Golden Age of lunar exploration has begun.

[Tim Sheehy @TimSheehyMT]

We pioneered the lunar frontier a half century ago - time to return for good. Let’s get it done, @NASAMoonBase 🇺🇸

[CBS News @CBSNews]

“America is returning to the moon:” NASA announced it is leading global teams of innovators across international space agencies, industry and academia to build a Moon Base and establish a human presence on the moon.

.@NASAAdmin and other NASA leadership shared plans for the @NASAMoonBase during a news conference today! Check out photos from the event here: 📷https://t.co/LgEpdl5vfI

[NASA @NASA]

@NASAMoonBase @blueorigin @NASAAdmin @astrobotic @astrolab We have awarded @LunarOutpostInc with a lunar terrain vehicle award. Their Pegasus rover is capable of manual, autonomous, or teleoperated driving at speeds more than 9 mph.

Early surface mobility will help us create an enduring presence on the Moon.

[NASA @NASA]

@NASAMoonBase @blueorigin @NASAAdmin @astrobotic “Congratulations @BlueOrigin and we are looking forward to this partnership to deliver the first lunar terrain vehicle (LTV) as part of @NASAMoonBase program.”

Moon Base program executive Carlos García-Galán congratulates the recipient of the LTV delivery award.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Time to build major base on the Moon!
