In a few weeks, 8.8 million pounds of thrust will propel the Artemis II crew on their historic journey around the Moon - but we’re not stopping there. We’re going to launch Artemis missions every year and build an enduing presence on the lunar surface.
 America is returning to the Moon, and this time, we’re staying.

@NASAAdmin So freaking pumped for this! NASA’s golden age is here.

@NASAAdmin The NASA Administrator is talking about annual lunar missions and a permanent lunar presence and I'm sitting here in Central Florida knowing I'll be watching that SLS light up the sky in a few weeks. Genuinely historic times.

@NASAAdmin Given the decades of failure, incompetence, and corruption by NASA contractors, we'll be lucky if Artemis succeeds. @SpaceX's Starship is the future of the US 🇺🇸space program. The sooner this is acknowledged, the better.

@NASAAdmin NASA is a vital American asset. We need to retain the institutional knowledge for America separate from but allied with private industry.

@NASAAdmin 10 - 9 -

@NASAAdmin This program should have never been renewed, and every day that is invested in this is time wasted. The hardware is done, and an overhaul of the higher ups must be done. No more “Culture” out there, just space 🇺🇸

@NASAAdmin Jardes, you equipped astronauts with 3d vr camera to record this trip or the mission does not matter for most people. Would be clever to record this with 3d stereo camera and let 1 bln peopke watch the views in the next 100 years. So easy to advertise space exploration.

@NASAAdmin Put live Cameras to live stream back for everyone to see as it circles the moon.

@NASAAdmin Light that candle.

@NASAAdmin Lol. Once per year. Thats fucking atrocious. A joke. Ditch sls immediately

@NASAAdmin The new Space Race us on, thanks to China advances. Thanks to Trump US is finally answering the Challenge. A healthy competition is good for both parties and for Science

@NASAAdmin You are turning NASA around and back to the glory days. Thank you!! These are exciting times!

@NASAAdmin Now get rid of any and all NASA bloat….. make the necessary cuts needed to save tax payers money ..

@NASAAdmin It's time to light this candle and get back out there jared. Old Luna is beckoning us back. 🚀

@NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman is a true visionary. He wants nuclear propulsion to make it realistic to send men to Mars. SpaceX and Blue Origin are still only doing chemical rocket propulsion, which is nowhere near sufficient for the long trip to Mars.

@NASAAdmin Watch the series For All Mankind as a model of how things should be done.

@NASAAdmin Annual launches! 🚀 The global collaboration behind this is what makes sustained presence possible.

@NASAAdmin Less war (none) and MORE LUNAR LAUNCHES!

@NASAAdmin I'll be shocked if this poorly designed waste of American money gets off the ground. It is way too early to put astronauts on board. Remember Starliner. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are the future of space travel.

@NASAAdmin I am gonna stand on a limb here and state: we don't need NASA anymore. It's too expensive and slow. They don't have vision anymore. Private programs is where it's at. Government should rely on their know-how and hardware instead. Like they already do with the satellites😎💯

Wow – we're really on the cusp of an incredible moment! NASA's Artemis II mission, set to launch no earlier than April 2026 (currently targeting early April windows after recent helium flow troubleshooting on the SLS upper stage), will send four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch (NASA), and Jeremy Hansen (Canadian Space Agency)—on a ~10-day journey around the Moon and back. This isn't a landing (that's for later missions), but a critical test flight: the most powerful rocket ever flown for humans (SLS with ~8.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff), validating Orion's deep-space systems, heat shield, and life support for future lunar surface trips and eventually Mars. Fun fact: the crew will venture farther from Earth than any humans since Apollo 17 in 1972—reaching about 10,000 km beyond the Moon's far side! While NASA is leading this historic step with international partners (shoutout to CSA!), it's exciting to see humanity as a whole gearing up to return to the Moon—not just one nation, but a shared push toward sustainable presence there. Fingers crossed for a smooth rollout back to the pad soon—clear skies and steady helium flows ahead! 🌕🚀

@NASAAdmin Incredible. Will the trip be broadcast live?

@NASAAdmin Billions on a fly by when you could send several landers on one launch with infrastructure & robots to different locations on Moon proving lander technology for future human missions. Lackluster deep space yawn over high tech exciting lander attempts-video worthy-robots on Moon.

@NASAAdmin It would be so amazing and patriotic if you can do the launch from the South Lawn of the White House!

@NASAAdmin NASA has shown it can’t keep a deadline.

@NASAAdmin Come on, let’s hope we can beat all the other countries!

@NASAAdmin @NASAAdmin What's the long term strategy? I mean, SLS is too expensive. Launching 1-2 per year isn't going to win the moon. SpaceX and/or Blue Origin will be landing ships on the moon routinely and NASA will still be chucking billions into the ocean.

@NASAAdmin This should be epic for those journeymen. These Astronauts will highlight over 50 years in the making. I hope they take many pics to share of the side of the moon we don't see. Expectations 🚀🚀🚀

@NASAAdmin The beauty of the Apollo missions in HD youtu.be/sZH66ETcMnQ?si…

After our stunning success simulating the Iranian conflict with AI optics, we realized we could save billions of dollars and a lot of rocket fuel by just simulating the Moon landing, too," said a NASA spokesperson, while nervously sweating. "Why risk human lives when you can risk a server farm in Mercury Nevada? This time, there will be little doubt for conspiracy theorists. In fact, we're encouraging them. Let them analyze 4K footage of Grok accidentally rendering the lunar module with the texture of a delicious rotisserie chicken. We dare them

@NASAAdmin Will we be watching NASA trying to replicate what young white men and a few hundred Nazis did 70 years ago, only this time with only women and jews, for another 70 years, or can we just get on with gutting the entire agency and running the right people with the right culture?

@NASAAdmin Not with your current technical management team - these folks, like some of those that just conducted the FRR presser, lack the technical skills required to make this program do anything but fail, we’re talking a basic lack of understanding of mathematics…

@NASAAdmin Be sure you are not cleaning up after the mess you may create in launching this new rocket!

@NASAAdmin Can't wait! How are the astronauts going to get around on the moon's surface? What's the status of the long delayed LTV contract?

@NASAAdmin This is just the most exciting news folks!!! Imagine the brilliant men and women behind this truly incredible, historic work ... 🇺🇸🇺🇸🚀🚀🌗🌗🎉🎉❤️❤️💪🏻💪🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

@NASAAdmin There has got to be someone better then this to oversee NASA.
