Quick dive into space nuclear propulsion: near-term tech could reach the Moon in 1–2 days and Mars in 3–4 months. Some advanced concepts claim ~45 days to Mars 🤯 Not sure that’s possible - but with NASA under Isaacman, we might just find out.

"We need to figure out how to pay for the exciting future we all want to see in space." We're on it. 🇺🇸
It is unfortunate that NASA’s team and the broader space community have to endured distractions like this. There are extraordinary opportunities and some risks ahead and so the focus should be on the mission. With many reporters and other interested parties reaching out, I want

we're looking for rising seniors to intern this summer and help us explore deep space
If you haven't dreamed of exploring the final frontier, please don't apply. For those that want to explore, this is your chance. Summer internship applications now live: https://t.co/kmnJRxd8dg

if we're going to be real tho, the game I played most growing up was Civilization. Maybe 1000 hours and 1,000,000 turns spent building (mostly cultural) civs. My main question, @CivGame, when are we going to be able to explore, build, and settle off-world?

there were a number of video games that inspired my love of space growing up - one was Spore I think it was the scale. You start as a single cell in the sea and evolve your species all the way to interstellar travel The moment when you left your home world felt wondrous

one of the more entertaining episodes we've had not sure how our leadership team would look with space grillz - only one way to find out!
Episode 36 details the legal basis for mining asteroids, preemptively suing competitors, and platinum grillz. Tune in: https://t.co/iXvLYX9Uc6

love how transparent and accessible we make deep space missions so straightforward even a history major can understand
Our latest University of AstroForge paper outlines how we're building DeepSpace-2’s flight software to survive deep space - handling radiation hits, hardware errors, and 20 million km communication delays. Live now: https://t.co/wnDS1kZ01Q

recycling is economics not politics
We’ve closed a $350M Series E led by @EclipseVC with participation from @NVIDIA’s NVentures. The oversubscribed round fuels growth across our two core business lines: Critical Materials + Energy Storage. We’re building a resilient U.S. energy future.

one of the coolest applications of AI I've seen
Pixley (@PixleyAI) turns kids’ drawings into personalized animated cartoons that teach and entertain. Hundreds of families have brought their stories to life on Pixley, making it the go-to platform for edutainment. Congrats on the launch, @PranitAgrawal4 & @Krish5Iyengar!

Arbor just raised $55M to scale their rocket tech to create low-cost, zero-emission energy from organic waste. I love when space and climate collide. 🚀 + 🍃 = ⚡️ + 🌍

If you weren't aware, we have a pretty cool weekly podcast at @AstroForge called Roid Rage
Mining and deflecting asteroids have more in common than you’d think. This week on Roid Rage, Planetary Defense Scientist Brent and Graduate Researcher Adrienne join us to talk mission design and asteroid disruption. Apple → https://t.co/iXvLYX9Uc6 Spotify →
