Every taxpayer has a stake in Blue Origin recovering quickly. Really glad to see Administrator Isaacman on the ground showing visible leadership and support for America's industrial space base.
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🇺🇸
Gm, personal news: I’ve joined @AstroForge as head of comms.
AstroForge is building the full tech stack to transform resource extraction and enable routine access to deep space. I am thrilled to join this incomparable team working to strengthen America’s industrial sovereignty and secure its leadership in space.
The company is wildly ambitious, technically serious, and pursuing some of the hardest problems in aerospace. As with any high-reward endeavor, there are real risks, technical and otherwise. But I wouldn’t be joining if I didn’t have conviction that the team @MattGialich built can pull it off.
The company is moving quickly with many exciting announcements to come. And later this year, DeepSpace-2 will attempt to rendezvous with and land on an asteroid. Let’s go. 🚀
Really great programming here, I'm so tired of the manufactured hot-takeification of tech media so simple, candid observations are very very welcome
well done @itsmoislam@JackKuhr
