Hello, Florida!😎 This weekend, teams with @NASAGroundSys were hard at work, unloading SLS hardware at @NASAKennedy for not one, not two, but THREE upcoming #Artemis missions! Curious about what’s coming up next? Find more details here >> go.nasa.gov/47cQzod

I wonder if they think we just sit in DEI meetings all day waving pride flags and eating rainbow cake at NASA. I doubt they have ever set foot near a NASA center before, which is probably for the best.

prnewswire.com/news-releases… A half-Century ago, it was an honor to serve my country in the effort to put a human being on the Moon. I am proud of what we accomplished then and I have dedicated my life to the pursuit of an enduring human presence in space – it is a calling that runs through every fiber of my being.    Over time, I have seen our government’s approach to space wax and wane. But under the first Trump Administration, I was impressed to see how human space exploration was elevated as a policy of high importance again. Under President Trump’s first term, America saw a revitalized interest in Space, and his Administration reignited national efforts to get back to the Moon, and push on to Mars. The Trump Administration also reinstituted the National Space Council, and our Nation’s defense was enhanced with the creation of the U.S. Space Force – increasingly important as space becomes a contested domain. At the same time, I have been enthused and excited by the great advancements in the private sector space economy, led by visionaries like @elonmusk.  These are concrete accomplishments that align with my concerns and America’s policy priorities.       America is facing serious and difficult challenges both at home and abroad.  The Presidency requires clarity in judgement, decisiveness, and calm under pressure that few have a natural ability to manage, or the life experience to successfully undertake. It is a job where decisions are made that routinely involve American lives – some urgently but not without thought. The job requires sober analysis of frightening scenarios, and the instinct to lead with resolve. From the skies over Korea in air-to-air combat to navigating, landing, and walking on the Moon, I appreciate this kind of pressure. I know what it is like to have to make these kinds of decisions, with firmness and follow-through.   In this election, we have a choice and we all have one vote. For some, the choice may not be easy – but in times of uncertainty real leaders are most needed – to guide and inspire a people, to push through the noise, recognize what really matters, and accomplish missions critical to all citizens. Most Americans rightly consider it an honor to cast their vote for a leader they believe will best serve the nation. For me, for the future of our country, to meet enormous challenges, and for the proven policy accomplishments above, I believe we are best served by voting for @realDonaldTrump. I wholeheartedly endorse him for President of the United States. Godspeed President Trump, and God Bless the United States of America.

Community note
The minus sign in front of p_0 means that as p_0 gets smaller, Thrust goes up. This tells us that an atmosphere outside the rocket is not necessary to "push against", and in fact decreases thrust. All else being equal maximum thrust is when p_0 = 0, as in outer space. grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airpl

When I spread misinformation and misogyny over the internet.
nasa.gov/exploration/systems… SLS is NASA's first female-led program, intended to reuse 40-yr-old engines in a rocket for the Artemis return-to-the-moon program. Today NASA announced that the SLS cost overruns are so vast, they must cancel the Artemis program it is being built for.
