After 50 days on the job, visits to every NASA center, a dozen town halls, and reviewing thousands of workforce submissions, it is clear there is much we can do to better empower our people and focus resources on the most pressing objectives.
Getting back to the Moon means getting back to the basics. NASA must regain its core competencies in technical, engineering, and operational excellence, and in doing so, we’ll save up to $1B a year to fund more missions of world-changing science and discovery.
With the directive issued today, we are strengthening the NASA team and executing urgently on the President’s national space policy.

Our Perseverance rover has recorded the sounds of electrical sparks and mini-sonic booms in dust devils on Mars. 🌪️⚡️
Long theorized, the phenomenon has now been confirmed through audio and electromagnetic recordings captured by the rover. Listen in: go.nasa.gov/4ow4612

View of Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point

Even if we fail at creating a Mars colony that can grow without continuous support from Earth, the absurdly ambitious nature of the goal nonetheless results in the creation of alien-level technology that is crushingly better than competitors who merely aim for Earth orbit.

There is value in an audacious mission. Even when the end-goal is not directly capitalizable. The tech required to master Mars is so badass that upon development it turns out to be remarkably valuable on Earth, not least because no other team has the determination to follow that hardest path. I suspect that the option value of a Mars colony, fully considered, could be capitalized over an appropriate timescale. But the tech required to just barely make Mars viable is so massively performant on Earth, that it opens up all sorts of terrestrial option value that we otherwise might never have explored.
