Space Frontier@SpaceFrontier·
We are very excited! This is a great reenactment of Apollo 8 for a new generation. While we are all fired up and getting attention beyond the die hard space folks, someone has to speak to the real world beyond the hype. The Foundation has stepped up to serve that need.

I get it @SpaceFrontier - you don’t like SLS. We’re about to return to the Moon. For 70% of humanity this is their first human lunar mission. If you can’t muster some excitement then please sit down and shut up so the rest of us can. #AdAstra

….and the federal government spent $64B over 15yrs for a rocket that launched once… just imagine what the commercial sector could have done with all that money!

Palantir CTO @ssankar in 2024: “For $10 billion, @elonmusk put 300 rockets in orbit.” “For $11 billion the state of California has built 1600ft of elevated rail, with no rail.”

To return Americans to the Moon, NASA is shifting to an iterative, execution-focused approach – just as we did during Apollo.  We are standardizing rocket architecture, embedding NASA expertise across industry, and increasing launch cadence to support sustained lunar operations.   We are sending a demand signal for crewed missions beyond Artemis V, with at least two providers capable of bringing astronauts to the surface every 6 months.  The goal is not just to reach the Moon, but to stay.  America will never give up the Moon again.

Hard to believe it took seven years to finally stop the insanity but Lunar Gateway has been deleted. That is, seven years since NASA admitted it was pointless. Background: caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2019/05/05/the…

The Space Shuttle program burned through $196 billion over 30 years—that's $1.5 billion per launch. NASA's bureaucrats promised reusability but delivered a Rube Goldberg machine that killed 14 astronauts and required armies of technicians to refurbish after each flight. Enter SpaceX. Musk took zero government development money for Falcon 9 and achieved actual reusability at $67 million per launch (often less). And he did it in half the time with a fraction of the resources. This is Austrian economics in action: market prices reveal real costs, profit-and-loss drives innovation, and entrepreneurs allocate resources efficiently. Government programs optimize for political theater, not results. The contrast couldn't be more damning.

Congratulations to @NASA and @NASAAdmin for unveiling a bold vision for America's future in space. From honoring historic pioneers like Neil Armstrong to building the next generation of lunar infrastructure, this is how a true golden age of space begins.

“I’m glad to see people across the country engaged in working on it, but I’m not I’m not necessarily happy to see it flouted as a jobs program instead of a success for the American taxpayers’ investment,” Autry said. “That doesn’t warm my heart.”

I hate when people say @SpaceX is simply handed government contracts. No, SpaceX earns those contracts. They offer the lowest price, the best product and they execute. The Pentagon said last year that SpaceX has saved the government over $40 billion. One SLS launch costs billions, while one SpaceX launch costs ~$75M. SpaceX is an example of great American innovation, something that all Americans should cheer on.

The next chapter of America’s journey to explore the solar system begins TONIGHT. Artemis II and the SLS rocket roll out of the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Complex 39B as we target a launch attempt as early as April 1. This mission will potentially send astronauts farther into space than any human has traveled before - around the Moon and safely back home. And, under @POTUS’ National Space Policy Directive, we’re just getting started.
