@elonmusk I’ve seen too many fake/scam companies advertising on Insta… unfortunately this means I don’t trust social media ads, period. What are you doing to ensure advertisers are legit?

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman
Below is the note that I sent to the NASA workforce today as we release the report on the Starliner Crew Flight Test Investigation. We will achieve success through extreme ownership, immense competence, and decisive action.

@aaronburnett This same heat transfer logic would conclude that we can’t get any heat from the sun. D’oh

2026 will see a lot of articles commenting on SpaceX's orbital data center (ODCs) plans. like this one, most will contain little to no depth, reference expert skeptics and certainly zero first principles. I'd highly suggest arming yourself with actual math and physics backed information. We've dedicated 100+ hours over the last 2.5 months to understanding this topic and specifically SpaceX's role in it. These are our top 3 analyses on ODCs, that you may want to spend the time to understand. - Cooling/Radiators analysis (most popular): research.33fg.com/analysis/debun… - Location of first ODCs: why SSO matters research.33fg.com/analysis/where… - Energy breakeven research.33fg.com/analysis/orbit…

BEHIND THE CURTAIN: Elon Musk believes SpaceX has cracked the code on building orbiting data centers to power AI — and plans to fund the audacious vision through its IPO. Musk and other top AI execs believe that earthbound data centers will become politically toxic and less efficient than space. axios.com/2026/01/19/ai-…

Video from my roof of @SpaceX Dragon streaking across the sky over LA tonight. Inside this 10,000 degree plasma cocoon traveling at 8 km/sec are four amazing humans. Welcome home @NASA Crew-11! 🇺🇸

#161 Congrats to the @SpaceX Falcon pad and final integration team for setting a new launch to launch record!!! 50 hours and 44 minutes from the NROL-77 launch to SL6-90 at Pad 40. The rocket was actually ready to fly at roughly 40 hours, but we needed to wait for the optimal deployment t-zero. Love seeing us continue to improve on our speed, efficiency, safety and reliability! We once thought it was crazy town to launch from the same pad in two days. Now it feels crazy not to be launching from the same pad multiple times a day. 🚀🚀🚀 Physics is the only constraint. Everything else is just an engineering challenge waiting to be solved.

Mr. Bridenstine’s recent musings promoting a new landing system – going so far as to invoke the Defense Production Act – are being misreported as though they were the unbiased thoughts of a former NASA Administrator. They are not. spacenews.com/spacex-defends… To be clear, he is a paid lobbyist. He is representing his clients’ interests, and his comments should be seen for what they are – a paid lobbyist’s effort to secure billions more in government funding for his clients who are already years late and billions of dollars overbudget.
