Humbled to be helping to make life interplanetary 🚀

@NBAPR Never understood why are coaches and players are fined for criticizing the officials? Are the officials or the league really that sensitive and/or concerned about being critiqued?absolutely absurd.

@SpaceXTrip @SpaceX Congrats Trip! 🚀

[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

Only 66 years from first flight to landing on the moon, but now half a century has passed since the last moon landing.

That cannot be our high water mark as a civilization.

Humanity should have a moon base, cities on Mars and be out there among the stars!

Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting second integrated flight test of Starship!

Starship successfully lifted off under the power of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy Booster and made it through stage separation

@Erdayastronaut Founders edition + my ‘starship’ rocket lamp handmade here at the Cape by a NASA Firefighter named ‘Gator’ (no joke) 🚀

If 200 Falcon second stage vehicles and Merlin Vacuum engines weren’t enough for you, the Raptor team recently completed the 200th Raptor 2 engine!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

33 Raptor engines installed on the Booster, 6 on the Ship

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

First two countries in Africa with Starlink regulatory approval; Starlink is now licensed on all seven continents!
