The Artemis III crew embodies the skill, professionalism, and determination that have always defined American exploration. Excited to see what Randy, Luca, Frank, and Andre will accomplish as we continue leading the world in space.

The future of exploration will be built through thriving spaceports, reusable rockets, orbital assembly, and technologies we once only imagined. Just as railroads and highways transformed our economy, tomorrow’s orbital and lunar economy will help power what comes next. Very exciting times ahead.

Yesterday was all about the future of American space exploration. Proud to help introduce the Artemis III crew and excited for the mission ahead. No better way to end a day like that than in the air with @NASAAdmin!

The Artemis Generation is here. Artemis III will help us get into the rhythm of multi-launch campaigns, test new capabilities close to home, and then take the next step toward building a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole.

The locomotive honoring America’s 250th anniversary and @POTUS is now hauling the solid rocket booster segments that will help power Artemis III. The Artemis program began under President Trump’s first term. Now the hardware for humanity’s return to the lunar surface is moving down the tracks.

Roman is launching ahead of schedule and under budget, a testament to the extraordinary teams across NASA and industry who turned an ambitious vision into reality. This mission will transform how we see the universe and help answer questions humanity has pursued for generations. Looking forward to launch.

NASA’s next chapter will be written by talented people willing to take on hard problems and push the boundaries of what’s possible. Excited to welcome our newest class of interns. Among this group are future engineers, scientists, leaders, and explorers who will help shape lunar exploration, scientific discovery, aviation, and the journey to Mars. Welcome to NASA.

We go where we need to be, and today that was @NASAKennedy. Some of my senior engineers and I spent time at @blueorigin with @JeffBezos and @davill, speaking with the workforce and seeing the damage at LC-36 firsthand. I appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from those working through the aftermath and better understand the challenges ahead. There is a lot of work to do, but this is exactly why people choose careers in aerospace, whether at NASA, Blue Origin, or across the industry. The talent in this field thrives under pressure and performs at its best when solving the toughest problems. We have been saying for months at NASA that we are not going to sit on our hands and wait for the capabilities necessary to achieve the nation’s most pressing objectives. We are going to take an active role alongside our partners, just as we did in the 1960s, to overcome setbacks, remove obstacles, and deliver the intended outcomes. @NASA is committed to helping the Blue team recover, continue to advance their lunar lander and get New Glenn back to launching as soon as safely possible. America’s greatest achievements in space were never the result of avoiding setbacks. They came from overcoming them. We have done it before, and we will do it again🇺🇸

The near impossible is becoming possible. We are building toward a sustained human presence at the lunar South Pole. It begins with Phase 1: CLPS landers and LTV rovers testing the “science of survival” on the lunar surface before heavy HLS cargo landers deliver the mass and infrastructure needed for an enduring presence. We are building the Moon Base for all we will learn, the innovation that will improve life on Earth, the inspiration for the next generation of explorers, and to master the skills needed for where we will inevitably go next...Mars. The Golden Age of lunar exploration has begun.

Congrats @SpaceX team and @elonmusk on a hell of a V3 Starship launch. One step closer to the Moon…one step closer to Mars 🇺🇸

Not a bad way to spend day two on the job. Thanks for the flight, @NASAAdmin, and best of luck to @SpaceX on Starship Flight 12!

Today, we are announcing an initiative to put NASA’s mission first and resource the objectives that matter most. We are organizing, planning, and investing in the talent and Centers to achieve the world-changing objectives only NASA is capable of accomplishing.

Honored to be sworn in today as @NASA Deputy Administrator. I’m grateful to @POTUS for the opportunity to serve alongside @NASAAdmin and the incredible NASA workforce to strengthen America’s leadership in space and lead the next era of exploration and discovery 🇺🇸
