No other traveler has ever journeyed so far from home. Voyager 1 is about to become the first human-made object to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth, or about 16 billion miles. ½

Okay, we're loving these. This vintage Moon Base artwork is such a vibe 🤩
When past meets present 🖌️🌙 For decades, artists have imagined humans living and working on the Moon, as seen in these illustrations from the ‘60s through ‘90s. While the designs may look different from what we'll build, the vision is becoming a reality with @NASAMoonBase.

A huge thank you to the teams who made this weekend happen and everyone who joined us at @NASAKennedy. Somewhere in that crowd is a future test pilot, an engineer, an astronaut who will walk on the Moon or Mars. That’s why we do this. Now let’s give them a future worthy of their ambitions. Big momentum building for @capeweek_us in 2028.
The weekend ends. The mission keeps going. This is what American ambition looks like. 🇺🇸🚀

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!

NASA has selected industry partners to provide components for a new communications and solar tower, known as miniCAST, that the agency will build to demonstrate power and communications capabilities in the Moon's South Pole region. It's another step toward developing the infrastructure needed to support a sustained human presence on the lunar surface.

NASA is moving forward with PROMISE, a nuclear-powered lunar rover that will build on decades of Mars rover innovation to explore the Moon's South Pole region, advance lunar science and discovery, and support Moon Base objectives. NASA has selected @blueorigin to deliver PROMISE to the lunar South Pole region. youtu.be/8f0aPpW1Ifs?si=VLg7…

A step toward keeping Moon Base connected. NASA has selected @SpaceX for the Cislunar Communications Deployment Demonstration (C2D2). Targeted for 2028, the Starship mission will demonstrate launch and spacecraft deployment capabilities that could help inform future lunar communications networks connecting astronauts, mission controllers and Moon Base.
