Wonderful event in DC last night for the release of @wapodavenport new book Rocket Dreams! Discussion with former @NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine where a bit of tea was spilled. Can’t wait to read it from cover to cover!

.@BillNye and I have an important message: 🚨 Science at NASA is in danger. 🚨 NASA science gives us so much more than rockets and moon rocks. It grows our economy, strengthens national security, and creates entirely new industries and jobs. Join us in speaking out to save it.

Jim Lovell was one of the finest individuals I've had the privilege to know. He was a hero in every way and will be missed. Clear skies and fair seas ahead for one of the all time greats!

Wonderful to catch up with longtime friends and colleagues @roycedalby & Pete Worden in Luxembourg this week. We’ve been conspiring to advance a more valuable space program for over 35 years! Supporting @hydrosat_earth is our latest escapade! Cheers to a bright future!

Congratulations on this stunning progress!
We've completed our first in-space demo of key components and first ground hotfire of our in-house 20kW Hall-effect thruster. These milestone achievements significantly de-risk our 2026 Gravitas mission to Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). https://t.co/yj4Vfeok72

Exactly! We would have to take the Shuttle apart to move it at this point. The aircraft transport was decommissioned & it wouldn't hold up that distance on a barge or highway (bridges/trees/power lines). If this is the priority for our tax dollars, we are doomed.
How many of these missions could be continued for the $300 million it will take to move the space shuttle Discovery from the Smithsonian to Texas?

Discussion w/ @acolangelo on how recent events related to @elonmusk @POTUS @rookisaacman impact @SpaceX @NASA's future. Hot takes: 1) A forest fire strategy may allow green shoots to take root & grow quickly. 2) One of us wants to be the next NASA Administrator, but it isn't me!
🎙️ Today on the show, @Lori_Garver joins me to sort through the chaos of the last week—Jared Isaacman’s withdrawn nomination, the Musk/Trump breakup, Starship Flight 9, and more. Listen here: https://t.co/XrBskz6SXw

I was very much looking forward to this discussion. Now, after watching the escalating scorpion battle this afternoon, I’m positively ______. You gotta listen to find out!
Seems like a good time to have @Lori_Garver on the show tomorrow…

Not the results we were hoping for, but progress was made, which is always the goal. Been impressed by @SpaceX transparency throughout the broadcast. Onward!
As if the flight test was not exciting enough, Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly. Teams will continue to review data and work toward our next flight test. With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today’s test will help us improve Starship’s

A bit of work, & a lot of fun… in Venice! Commercial space is alive & well in Europe! Who knew I’d be so popular? But as the only US person on the Artemis panel, the mood turned sour. Explaining the Trump @NASA budget proposal was more challenging Gateway, ISS, MSR…oh my!
