We're building a Moon Base!

@NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions.

Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: https://t.co/IJXA7xYwju

It feels like it happened overnight, but after decades in the fashion wilderness, jean shorts are back. Every teenage boy in Nashville is wearing them, including my sons. Huge moment for Florida Gator fans everywhere. It’s your time.

America cannot be great again until the epidemic of men in suits wearing white-soled casual shoes is extirpated.

[Office of the Secretary of the Air Force @SecAFOfficial]

In consultation with @SecWar, we will EXTEND the A-10 “Warthog” platform to 2030. This preserves combat power as the Defense Industrial Base works to increase combat aircraft production.

Thank you to @POTUS for your unwavering support of our warfighters and quick, decisive leadership as we equip our force. More to come.

Virginians, Governor GunBurglar isn't a moderate sending back gun bills for the legislature to make them less terrible.

She's suggesting they make the bills WORSE and hoping you don't notice before you vote on redistricting.

My politics is whatever produces more people like Victor Glover. What a great American. 🇺🇸

Virginia had seven scholarship players -- De Ridder, Grunloh, Mallory, Lewis, Gertrude, Carrere, and Silas Barksdale -- last year with more years of eligibility. Ryan Odom retained all seven.
Absolutely insane in an era dominated by the transfer portal and NIL.

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

Source: Sam Lewis has agreed to a deal to return to Virginia next season.

The 6-7 Lewis averaged 10.6 PPG last season and was an integral part of the Cavaliers' 30 wins in their first year under Ryan Odom.

[University Hall @UHallUVa]

And none from Virginia yet. Biggest endorsement of Odom so far.

[Eric Hobeck @eric_hobeck]

Per a source, Virginia guard Sam Lewis is currently expected to return to Charlottesville next season and will not enter the transfer portal. Lewis started all but one game and shot 40% from three in 2025-26.

As Artemis II continues its journey, it’s a good moment to recognize the army of a team behind that it takes to undertake such a mission.

From the engineers and technicians who built the systems, to the launch team, Mission Control, and the recovery crews preparing for splashdown - and everyone behind this mission.

Thank you to the workforce making this mission possible every single day.

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

Okay I've seen enough. Triple NASA's budget.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth.

On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world.

Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

This photo has a very personal meaning for me if you care to read it.

I saw a photo from @johnkrausphotos on reddit nearly a decade ago of the engines on a Falcon Heavy launch. I was working at a tough sales job at the time. The shot inspired me to learn more about space and spaceflight.

Shortly after, I bought my first telescope. I saw Jupiter, Saturn, and Nebulae, and started social media accounts where I shared my amateur photos.

Then I was laid off, and Covid happened. Moved from Sacramento to Arizona for clearer skies, cheaper cost of living, and a chance to go all-in on space photography. My audience started to grow.

Then, NASA contacted me, asking me if they could use some of my moon photos for something called Artemis. I said yes.

During the Artemis I rollout my DMs blew up “Andrew- your photo is on the Mobile Launch Platform!”. Now I knew that astrophotography wasn’t enough… I should probably pay attention to spaceflight. I spent a lot coming out to the first launch attempt, which would be my first rocket launch if it flew. Sadly, it was a scrub.

I came home from Florida, sharing my stories of touring the VAB and facilities with my grandfather, who worked on Apollo. He passed shortly after, which affected my ability to return to watch the SLS flew.

Feeling bummed out, I focused back on my deep sky work, but then I started hearing about something called “Starship”. I caught a video from @Erdayastronaut where a rocket ship fell through the air belly-first and flipped upright and landed. Inspired, I knew I had to witness one of these machines fly, so I flew to Starbase the moment I could afford it, which was for the second fully integrated flight test.

The moment Starship lifted off the pad, I was hooked. There was nothing quite like the experience. I did everything I could to catch every launch I could, and worked to become credentialed media to get better access.

Last year I flew from Arizona to Florida & Texas over a dozen times specifically to sharpen my launch photography skills with our first human spaceflight to the moon in over 50 years looming.

A decade of preparation for a split second moment. When I picked up my camera from the launch pad yesterday morning and peeked at what was captured, I knew it was all worth it.

Thank you, NASA, Artemis, and the all people who inspired me along the way.

This is still only the beginning.

Two days after the Artemis II launch, we remember Gus Grissom, born on this day 100 years ago in the tiny town of Mitchell, IN.

He perished on January 27, 1967 during the pre-launch test of Apollo I. Due to his seniority, he would have likely been our first man on the moon.

2026 has given us some iconic images.

These should be posters in every classroom.
