Congratulations to @rookisaacman on his swearing-in as NASA Administrator!

— Polaris team

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

Well it is official now..

I want to again express my sincere appreciation to President Donald J. Trump @POTUS for nominating me to lead NASA, and to the United States Senate--and Chairman Cruz @tedcruz - for their diligence and fairness throughout the confirmation process. I am grateful to Secretary Duffy @SecDuffy for his leadership as Acting Administrator during this transition, and to my wife Monica, my family, my friend Senator Sheehy @TimSheehyMT and everyone who offered their support along the way.

As I step into this role, I make these personal commitments:

– Mission: I will champion the bold objectives of human space exploration, scientific discovery, and a thriving orbital economy that ensures America’s leadership in space. We will never again give up our capabilities to reach for the stars, and we will never settle for second place.

– Integrity: I will serve responsibly, transparently, and without personal gain, covering every cost I am legally permitted to, and fully adhering to my ethics agreement. My loyalty is to my country, my President, and the space agency that has inspired me since I was a child.

– Urgency: I will intensely focus the agency on achieving the near-impossible, the very reason NASA was established in the first place. We will eliminate the bureaucracy that impedes progress and empower the best and brightest to take ownership, move quickly, accept smart risks, and act with a relentless focus on mission success.

– Inspiration: Every launch, every scientific breakthrough must inspire the next generation to dream bigger, to reach higher, and believe that anything is possible. In addition to my existing philanthropic efforts, I will donate my salary as Administrator to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s Space Camp to help prepare the pioneers of tomorrow.

I am humbled by this opportunity, proud to serve, and ready to work alongside the most talented minds in America as we continue the greatest adventure in human history.

Sincerely,
Jared Isaacman
NASA Administrator

@RGVaerialphotos @StJude @CSI_Starbase @LabPadre @rweb11742 @Erdayastronaut @DJSnM Thanks for supporting St. Jude!

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

Jariko @JarikoDenman is an absolute badass American who took on the challenging of bringing this world record home. He assembled a stacked crew of veterans and pros to support from the air and on the ground. Sen. Sheehy @TimSheehyMT and I were lucky to be in the action and contribute to what was an amazing team effort. 🇺🇸

Huge thanks to all the players..I may not have all social handles so please look them up.

The team showing up for ⁦@StJude⁩

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

Liv designed the zero-g indicator we flew on Polaris Dawn. She loves aviation, loves space and has a wonderful family @rebeccaperrotto. Please keep my friend in your prayers. I’ll be thinking about her at @StJude marathon tomorrow--hoping for a day no child endures what Liv has.

[Polaris @PolarisProgram]

@rebeccaperrotto @rookisaacman @Gillis_SarahE @annawmenon @KiddPoteet Love!

Last night, @rookisaacman and @Gillis_SarahE returned @ExplorersClub Flag #218, which accompanied the Polaris Dawn crew to orbit. It was exposed to the vacuum of space during the mission’s spacewalk and traveled farther from Earth than any crewed mission since humanity last went to the Moon!

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

A cool video @StinkJet put together

@imPenny2x @America250 Here is the video

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

Working on a fun project with @America250 to honor America’s heroes 🇺🇸

Thought the night afterburner test pic was cool to share--not quite rocket energy, but looks good.

@SpaceX Congrats to the SpaceX team on another big step in the Starship program. Space fans around the world are looking forward to the V3 debut.

[NASA's Johnson Space Center @NASAJohnson]

Celebrating our NEW candidate astronaut class, including @AstroAnnaMenon who flew aboard the 2024 commercial Polaris Dawn mission!

Learn more about its science as we prepare to travel back to the Moon, to Mars, and beyond. https://t.co/DYKDKPjotq

For those in to the flying thing....we got stacked slot rolls in F-5E, F-5F, MiG-29 & AlphaJets. You can spot the sweet F-5 avionics. We flew some great people, did a Montana State football flyover and getting ready for a project to honor our nation’s heroes 🇺🇸

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

Congrats to the new class of @NASA astronaut candidates--especially @annawmenon one of the most amazing people I know. A former NASA biomedical engineer, @SpaceX Mission Director, one of two women astronauts to have already flown farther in to space than anyone before, a rockstar mom of two, wife to @astro_anil and a pioneer who will help lead America’s space program into the future 🇺🇸
