It was an honor to welcome @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman to the American Rocketry Challenge 2026 National Finals this past weekend.
Congratulations to all the teams, mentors, and partners who make this program possible and continue to inspire the next generation of aerospace leaders
Last week, I spent time with some incredibly talented students at the American Rocketry Challenge Finals. Seeing their ideas, determination, and excitement for what’s possible was inspiring.
As we build toward a sustained return to the Moon through Artemis, we’re helping lay the foundation for a future this generation will help lead. Some of the students here will design the technologies, solve the hard problems, and achieve the near impossible to take humanity farther than ever before.
The future is in very good hands.

STEM education is critical to the future of the aerospace and defense workforce. Through Rockets on the Hill, American Rocketry Challenge finalists had the opportunity to showcase their work to members of Congress.
Thank you to the House Aerospace Caucus, @RTX_News, and the @northropgrumman Foundation for supporting opportunities that connect students with the future of flight and space — and thank you to @RepJasonSmith @RepJohnMcGuire @RepPatHarrigan @RepAdrianSmith @RepYoungKim for joining us today in support of the next generation of aerospace leaders.
Now it’s time for competition day — see y’all tomorrow out on the field!
