Great to host President Yamakawa and our friends at @JAXA_en, one of our closest Moon Base partners. Enjoyed taking you up in the helicopter for a look at where we’ll launch your Pressurized Rover on its journey to the Moon. A lot to look forward to, and a lot of work ahead together!

From November 4 to 6, President Yamakawa participated in NASA’s UP.Summit and MAX POWER events, strengthening collaboration with NASA while deepening engagement with the U.S. aerospace industry. Thank you, NASA for the unforgettable experience!

JAXA's pressurised rover is a big deal, it's basically a mobile home on wheels, astronauts could live and drive in it for weeks at a time. And in return a Japanese astronaut is set to be the first non-American to land on the Moon. That's a fair trade by anyone's measure.

Japan’s rover looks awesome. Can’t wait to see that bad boy on the moon.

JAXA is the best candidate in the world to develop a nuclear Tug for MOON - EARTH point yo point transport. Concept below

I love that the Moon is getting a camper van. Toyota calls it the Lunar Cruiser, and two astronauts should be able to live in it for about a month without spacesuits. Did JAXA say where on Earth they'll test drive it first?

Such a great partnership! I love to see it.

Hope Japan can bring this pressurized rover exhibit to a future MAX POWER event. It toured Japan over the past year and is now on display at JAXA’s Tsukuba Space Center. xitter.twitterapi.xyz/TS86142/status/2003119…

This is what partnership is about. A permanent moon base needs more than landers.

So our NASA Administrator not only flew fighter jets but can fly helicopters too??! What other skills are we missing? The most impressive is of course his leadership and goal setting 👏👏👌👌🇺🇲🇺🇲

A pressurized rover is the part of the Moon Base plan that makes it feel real: astronauts driving for days without suits, like a small camper on the Moon. Can't wait to see it roll.

Can’t wait to see a Japanese vehicle on the moon!

Thank you Japan.

Japanese here! Love seeing NASA and JAXA working so closely together. The aerial view of the pressurized rover's future launch site is really cool. Excited to see what's coming next! Artemis II has opened my eyes to the incredible work of NASA, CSA, and ESA. Believe it or not,

Will nasa just stop wasting our tax payer money. Just give space x the contracts and let them take over. NASA isn’t on the same level .

Dear Democrats, protect this hero (in two years). Much needs to be "cleaned up," but Jared embodies America beyond political boundaries! People like him truly made America great.
