The hopes and dreams of our children cannot wait, and neither will our rivals overseas. American leadership is never guaranteed. We earn it by choosing to do the hard things and building a future the next generation will be proud to inherit. There are more footprints to leave on the Moon, a Base to build, an American flag to plant on Mars, and prosperity and wonder to be found among the stars. At NASA, we remain on mission 🇺🇸
American ambition. Maximum power.
We didn’t reach for the stars to stop pushing farther. Under @POTUS’ leadership, we’re going back to the Moon. This time, to stay. 🇺🇸
Generations of American warfighters have put their lives on the line time and time again in defense of our freedom and our way of life.
On Veterans Day, we honor every patriot who answered the call to serve. God bless our vets, and God bless America 🇺🇸
On this Veterans Day, we salute those who have served and sacrificed for our country. 🇺🇸
Many veterans belong to the Hubble team, past and present, and their contributions help keep the mission running. We thank them for their service!
On Veterans Day we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of the brave men and women who have defended our freedom and protected the American way of life. Our Nation is forever grateful.
God bless America's veterans! 🇺🇸
Happy 251st birthday, @USMC. From John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth, to the astronauts serving today, Marines have helped push the boundaries of American exploration for generations. Proud to have Nicole Mann @AstroDuke, Jasmin Moghbeli @astro_jaz, Randy Bresnik @AstroKomrade and Luke Delaney carrying that legacy forward in our @NASA astronaut corps.
To all Marines, past and present, thank you for your service and commitment to our nation. Semper Fi!
NASA’s 2025 Astronaut Candidate Class just visited Langley!
We were honored to share a glimpse into Langley’s portfolio that makes space travel safer. 🚀💫

From the sky to the stage!
@NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman was part of the action at MAX POWER.
Visitors heard firsthand about the excitement of flight and the passion that makes space exploration possible as NASA plans its return to the Moon!

A huge thank you to the teams who made this weekend happen and everyone who joined us at @NASAKennedy.
Somewhere in that crowd is a future test pilot, an engineer, an astronaut who will walk on the Moon or Mars. That’s why we do this. Now let’s give them a future worthy of their ambitions.
Big momentum building for @capeweek_us in 2028.
Interesting you have that perception. I actually have been a loud voice saying NASA pivoted too far with commercialization into areas where there was no obvious business case or market, unfairly shifting the impossible burden onto others, and have been working to fix that, bringing some balance to the Force and restoring core competencies, rebuilding the workforce, and turning NASA Centers into builders again. We will finish 2026 with 20,000 civil servants, up from 14,000 at the beginning of the year.
And I am not aware of any science programs that I cut. Certainly, the prior administration canceled MSR, and rightfully so over cost growth (though I would love to re-attack and find a better, more affordable way to get those samples), and NASA science leadership has to be able to pivot away from older programs to invest in new missions. I know I helped add several missions, including MoonFall, SkyFall, and PROMISE, while championing a 'Nuclear NASA' to send missions to Enceladus and Uranus. For those who have doubts, talk to the people doing the work at the NASA Centers and decide for yourself.
Great to host President Yamakawa and our friends at @JAXA_en, one of our closest Moon Base partners.
Enjoyed taking you up in the helicopter for a look at where we’ll launch your Pressurized Rover on its journey to the Moon. A lot to look forward to, and a lot of work ahead together!
From November 4 to 6, President Yamakawa participated in NASA’s UP.Summit and MAX POWER events, strengthening collaboration with NASA while deepening engagement with the U.S. aerospace industry.
Thank you, NASA for the unforgettable experience!
This was the best question of the press event, and beyond the advice to follow your passion because it may very well lead you to the Moon, I think Dayna Ise gave a great answer on a specific discipline with robotics. We want astronauts living at the Moon Base, but also want to keep the EVAs to a minimum!
Space Academy Update:
Matt Anderson, NASA Deputy Administrator: “There’s a real need for this.”
“Over the next 5 years, the Space Force will need 1600 Officers a year.”
American ambition at full throttle. 🇺🇸
An incredible first day of MAX POWER at @NASAKennedy with @airdotshow, and we’re not done yet. This is just a taste of what’s ahead with @capeweek_us.
More power. More inspiration. Let’s go!
