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

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.”

Early next month, NASA will try for a second time to send a crew to the moon – the first time in more than half a century.

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 Cost of Space Flight (Per kg to Orbit) 🚀 Space Shuttle (1981) — $54,500 🚀 Saturn V (1967) — $5,400 🚀 Ariane 5 (1996) — $9,160 🚀 Falcon 9 (2010) — $2,720 🚀 Falcon Heavy (2018) — $1,410 🚀 Starship (Estimate) — <$200 We are entering the era of mass-market space travel as launch costs plummet by 90% in a single decade.

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.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman says that as a Moon base is being built, NASA plans to install comms relays and observation systems so people on Earth can watch it being constructed in real time. Additionally, NASA will begin landing landers on the Moon on a monthly basis in 2027 to learn more about the surface. Jared: “We’re going to plus up on Moon construction in a huge way.” 🚀🚀
