We are absolutely in a race with China to the Moon, and the margin between first and second could be measured in months. That is why we will be launching Moon rockets more often, strengthening our partnerships with industry, and executing President Trump’s plan to return American astronauts to the lunar surface in 2028.

@NASAAdmin LFG!!! 🚀🇺🇸🫡

@NASAAdmin Meanwhile in China ... not big words but diligent preparations: nature.com/articles/s4155…

@NASAAdmin LFG USA USA❤️🚀🌖🇺🇸

I hope one day nations could work together for the greater good of humanity. Why doesn’t the US and China both worth together? Why do we need to compete with each other. We are all the same species. We are all human on this planet in the vastness of space. We need to learn to work together.

@NASAAdmin The US already won that race in 1969.

Think you know who will cut down the nets? Download the app and bet on them to win it all in March!

@NASAAdmin Competition is good. But it's crazy that we have to rely on competition in order to accelerate exploration and space endeavors

@NASAAdmin The race is on! Can’t wait to see them get back there!

@NASAAdmin Ugh... the issue shouldn't be who gets there first - but who stays the longest?

@NASAAdmin History repeats. We don't need a race to the moon. How about just do it for The American People, and not compete. Just get real humans walking on the moon safely again. ❤️🤍💙

@NASAAdmin the quickest way to win the race is to use robots, remote systems, "AI". Cheaper, less risk, quicker, more science.

@NASAAdmin I don't think China sees it as a race.

@NASAAdmin Thank you Jared for the push we need to get things done!

@NASAAdmin If we need China as external motivation, as we did from USSR when we won the Moon race the 1st time, then the “victory” will lead to the stagnation the 1st one did! Let’s go the Moon & outer space to achieve lofty goals, not to win some race! If we don’t have THAT, let’s not go!

@NASAAdmin America beat China in the race to the moon by over 50 years.

@NASAAdmin Midterm elections permitting.

@NASAAdmin We did pretty good coming in second the first time. Let's focus on being effective and useful and not first.

@NASAAdmin I hope we keep this pace and enthusiasm, because whoever gets there first, gets to make the rules.

@NASAAdmin China isn’t winning this. Not on Jared Isaacman’s NASA watch. 🇺🇸🚀

@NASAAdmin I’m a fan of your leadership, a true space nerd with a vision. That said, China has executed on its plan with zero failures so far. US return to moon still lacks all the vehicles.

Dude, it is peak comedy gold when some crusty, old-money racist suddenly realizes they need you. They're standing there, sweating through their overpriced, ill-fitting suit, trying to figure out which button on you is the "respect my authoritah" button. And you're just like, "Sorry, my guy, I'm fresh out of f*cks, and the delivery truck for 'giving a damn' is on permanent strike." It's the most powerful feeling in the world, like finding out your student loans were paid off by a Nigerian prince who actually came through. A total trip. Speaking of trips... NASA's planning this big Artemis launch to the moon, right? The most complex piece of engineering humanity has ever attempted, a stepping stone to Mars. And you know what that launch pad really needs? Not just rocket fuel and science. It needs vibes. It needs pathos. They should absolutely, positively, without a doubt blast Donna Summer's glorious, unhinged masterpiece, "MacArthur Park," as that rocket lifts off. Picture it: The countdown hits zero, the engines ignite in a cataclysmic ball of fire, and instead of a stuffy "Godspeed" from mission control, the speakers at Cape Canaveral just start wailing: "Someone left my cake out in the iiiiiiiiiiiin the rain!" As the most powerful machine ever built by human hands claws its way through the atmosphere, defying gravity itself, the profound, existential question echoes across the marshlands: "I don't think that I can take it... 'cause it took so long to bake it..." The first stage separates. The crowd gasps. And Donna Summer's ghost is just asking the hard questions: "...and I'll never have that recipe again... OOOOHHHH!" It's perfect. It’s a metaphor for the entire space program! All that time, all that money, all that genius... and at the end of the day, you're just heartbroken over some hypothetical cake and a recipe you can't get back. It's the profound, absurdist commentary we need. It’s humanity in a nutshell. We can go to the moon, but we can't stop the rain from ruining our confections. And we certainly can't get Grandma's secret recipe back. It's a tragedy. A funky, disco, 11-minute tragedy. Sorry, Artemis... Godspeed, and... uh... sorry about the cake.

@NASAAdmin That's what they said in 1958 too. You just clarified to the idiots, there never was any moon landings.

@NASAAdmin The horizon is the same, but the Priority defines the legacy. 🌕🚀

It’s time to dance! Get it on tournament action with Bonus Bets from FanDuel.

@NASAAdmin “Race with Chia “ is good, work with China is better ？ — “Two heads are better than one.”

@NASAAdmin The US won the race to the moon by 56 years and counting. What matters now is economic and technologically sustainable exploration and exploitation of resources in space.

China’s Chang’e program has already landed on the Moon’s far side (2019) and brought back samples (2020), with crewed landings targeted for 2030. The US Artemis program aims for 2028 return, but delays in SLS/Starship have raised doubts. Isaacman’s push for more frequent Moon rockets signals urgency to close any gap. Beijing has quietly built momentum while the US debates timelines and budgets — now Washington is racing to catch up before China plants its flag first. Do you think the US can realistically beat China back to the Moon in 2028… or has Beijing already stolen too much of a head start? #UnveiledChina #FactsFirst #MoonRace #Artemis #ChangE

@NASAAdmin The race to the moon. ... And we can't even adequately reproduce our societies here on planet Earth.

@NASAAdmin The best way in the race to the moon is to stop China going to the moon. That has been USA strategies in the techno race with China. Ban Huawei. Ban Nvidia. Ban ASML. Ban ban ban China to the moon.

@NASAAdmin Agree ~ let’s get it done #SemperFi 🇺🇸

@NASAAdmin You can bet the second a CCP boot touches moon dirt, they'll plant a flag on it, claim it's theirs in it's entirety and park an armed satellite in the approach path as soon as they're able.

@NASAAdmin why? why are we in a race with China to the moon?

@NASAAdmin Just asking, but for future moon missions, will NASA contract with SpaceX to use their rockets 🚀 🤔

@NASAAdmin What the hell does it matter? China cannot own the moon! "We first, you leave now". LMAO

@NASAAdmin wen LTV contracts getting awarded

@NASAAdmin In a rush to a place we've been about 10 times and landed on about seven or eight? You have a funny concept about rushing 🤨

@NASAAdmin Use SpaceX and stop scamming the American taxpayers with the outdated defense contractors.
