In 2027, we WILL return American astronauts to the Moon.
We won yesterday's space race. We'll win today's space race against China, and we'll always win tomorrow's space race.
@SpaceX's Starship test flight success moves us one step closer toward achieving that goal.

Another major step toward landing Americans on the Moon’s south pole.
The progress @SpaceX demonstrated with today's Starship test is critical for our Artemis missions.
While we prepare for Artemis II, every flight strengthens our progress on Artemis III, and beating China back to the Moon! 🚀 🇺🇸

Thank you @realDonaldTrump for the honor to lead @NASA. We’ve made giant leaps in our mission to return to the Moon before China. It’s critical for our national security and national pride that we win the next space race.
Congratulations to @rookisaacman. I wish him all the success and will ensure the transition is seamless.

We are in a race against China so we need the best companies to operate at a speed that gets us to the Moon FIRST.
SpaceX has the contract to build the HLS which will get U.S. astronauts there on Artemis III.
But, competition and innovation are the keys to our dominance in space so @NASA is opening up HLS production to Blue Origin and other great American companies. 🚀

NISAR is successfully in orbit!
The mission is a joint U.S.-India effort, negotiated by President TRUMP.
Thanks to his LEADERSHIP & our friends at @ISRO, @NASA is Making Space Great Again!
Our Earth science fleet just got... NISAR.
Shortly after launch on an @ISRO rocket, the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar spacecraft successfully separated from its ride to orbit.
We'd say this satellite is more than nice, it's great. 😎 Find out why at go.nasa.gov/46RZixM.

HTV-X is a Japanese spacecraft, built by a Japanese company, launched on a Japanese rocket, from Japan, to be captured by a Japanese astronaut driving a Canadian robotic arm.
Trump is President of the USA, not Japan, and had no influence over the HTV-X, as Duffy implies.

He was known as a man of character and bravery, proven time and time again during his time at the agency. My heart goes out to his family, and everyone in the community who knew and loved him.
Hauck came to NASA as an astronaut candidate in 1978. He’d go on to pilot space shuttle mission STS-7, flying alongside legends like Sally Ride and Bob Crippen as part of the shuttle’s first five-person crew. He commanded the STS-51A mission, space shuttle Discovery’s second mission, and STS-26, the first shuttle flight after the Challenger accident. NASA thanks him for his service to human spaceflight and the shuttle program, as well as his service to this country.

1,000 commercial space operations and counting! Under @POTUS, @NASA and @USDOT are continuing to contribute to a safe and successful U.S. commercial space industry.
This is just one example of the interagency and industry collaboration that keeps AMERICA FIRST on Earth and in space.
.@FAANews hit its 1,000th FAA-licensed commercial space operation!
This is a major milestone—one that showcases American innovation and leadership in action. The future of commercial space couldn’t be brighter.🚀

ICYMI: Last month in Sydney at the world’s largest space conference, I led the U.S. delegation to rally global leaders behind @NASAArtemis
We’re going back around the Moon in 2026—three Americans, one Canadian, farther than any country has sent humans in 54 years. Just human exploration, American leadership, and winning every space race—yesterday’s, today’s, and tomorrow’s 🚀🌕🇺🇸🇦🇺

MAHA… in space!
We’re hard at work developing “space gardens” to keep astronauts healthy on the final frontier. 🌱
Experiments like this are laying the groundwork for feeding astronauts on future missions to the Moon and Mars!
NASA’s VEG-03 experiment shows how “space gardens” could help feed crews on long missions to the Moon and Mars.

Under the previous administration, NASA wasted almost $1 million on a DEI comic book. You read that right.
Thanks to @POTUS leadership, NASA is cutting wasteful DEI spending and focusing on returning Americans to the Moon and then Mars!

The @NASAArmstrong X-59 supersonic jet is one step closer to cutting flight time in half with a quiet sonic thump instead of a boom. This is a testament to American innovation and dedication. Great work, @NASAaero! ✈️🌎
