HARMONY OF RESILIENCE: Recorded in space and sent to Earth via @SpaceX’s @Starlink constellation, Polaris Dawn crewmember and violinist @Gillis_SarahE invites you to enjoy this music moment in support of @StJude & @ElSistemaUSA → polarisprogram.com/music
The Polaris Program team is sending our love to Liv ❤️
Please consider sharing or engaging with the below auction of her beautiful zero-gravity indicator, with proceeds supporting Liv and her family.
In an effort to support Liv Perrotto and her family in their time of need, I24 is auctioning off a SpaceX Polaris Dawn "Asteroid" Zero-G Indicator autographed by CDR Jared Isaacman (@rookisaacman). 🚀

All proceeds from the sale will go the Liv Perrotto GoFundMe campaign.
Please share everywhere! ✨
Congratulations to @rookisaacman on his swearing-in as NASA Administrator!
— Polaris team
Well it is official now..
I want to again express my sincere appreciation to President Donald J. Trump @POTUS for nominating me to lead NASA, and to the United States Senate--and Chairman Cruz @tedcruz - for their diligence and fairness throughout the confirmation process. I am grateful to Secretary Duffy @SecDuffy for his leadership as Acting Administrator during this transition, and to my wife Monica, my family, my friend Senator Sheehy @TimSheehyMT and everyone who offered their support along the way.
As I step into this role, I make these personal commitments:
– Mission: I will champion the bold objectives of human space exploration, scientific discovery, and a thriving orbital economy that ensures America’s leadership in space. We will never again give up our capabilities to reach for the stars, and we will never settle for second place.
– Integrity: I will serve responsibly, transparently, and without personal gain, covering every cost I am legally permitted to, and fully adhering to my ethics agreement. My loyalty is to my country, my President, and the space agency that has inspired me since I was a child.
– Urgency: I will intensely focus the agency on achieving the near-impossible, the very reason NASA was established in the first place. We will eliminate the bureaucracy that impedes progress and empower the best and brightest to take ownership, move quickly, accept smart risks, and act with a relentless focus on mission success.
– Inspiration: Every launch, every scientific breakthrough must inspire the next generation to dream bigger, to reach higher, and believe that anything is possible. In addition to my existing philanthropic efforts, I will donate my salary as Administrator to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s Space Camp to help prepare the pioneers of tomorrow.
I am humbled by this opportunity, proud to serve, and ready to work alongside the most talented minds in America as we continue the greatest adventure in human history.
Sincerely,
Jared Isaacman
NASA Administrator
Last night, @rookisaacman and @Gillis_SarahE returned @ExplorersClub Flag #218, which accompanied the Polaris Dawn crew to orbit. It was exposed to the vacuum of space during the mission’s spacewalk and traveled farther from Earth than any crewed mission since humanity last went to the Moon!
Congratulations to Anna Menon on being selected as a member of the 2025 NASA astronaut class!

Polaris Dawn returned to Earth one year ago today ✨
September 15th, 2021 & 2024--when one mission began another ended. The greatest privilege of my life has been seeing Earth alongside my @inspiration4x & @PolarisProgram crews. Very grateful to the thousands of brilliant minds-especially @SpaceX working to open the last frontier.
Polaris Dawn launched one year ago today! Thank you to all of those who followed along as Jared, Kidd, Sarah, and Anna began their five-day journey orbiting Earth 🌎💫
Liv and @rookisaacman helped Asteroid experience zero-gravity once again during an Alpha Jet flight today ✈️
Help support our friend Liv Perrotto, who designed our beautiful zero-g indicator Asteroid, as she battles undifferentiated sarcoma. We are sending love and strength your way, Liv! ❤️💪
Our brave 15-year-old daughter, Liv, is fighting undifferentiated sarcoma for the third time since she was 10. With limited options and no cure, she’s been accepted into the STRIvE-01 clinical trial in Seattle. The expenses for this journey are overwhelming, and we’re humbly asking for your support. Any donations or prayers would mean everything to us. Please keep Liv in your hearts and share this post. Thank you for your love and kindness.

Proud to support the next generation of pilots, astronauts, and scientists through the Inspiration4 Skills Training Complex and Polaris Dawn mission activities at Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama!

Science update 🧬🔬🧪👩🔬 → polarisprogram.com/polaris-d…
The Polaris Dawn crew of Jared Isaacman, Kidd Poteet, Sarah Gillis, and Anna Menon and dozens of principal investigators and scientists convened in Houston, Texas, in early April to review the initial findings of the nearly 40 science and research experiments conducted during the Polaris Dawn campaign and its five-day mission in space.
These experiments, spanning human physiology, molecular biology, radiation, plant growth, and operational technologies, provide critical data to address the health and operational challenges of future long-duration human spaceflight, as well as human health on Earth.
Many of these studies leveraged the unique opportunity to collect data from the crew both on orbit and within hours of their return to Earth, offering insights into the immediate adaptation to space and re-adaptation back to Earth.
Thank you to the Living Legends of Aviation and @TheRealBuzz for honoring the Polaris Dawn crew with the inaugural Dr. Buzz Aldrin Space Advancement Award. Our crew proudly stands on the shoulders of aviation and space legends who paved the way 🚀
The Polaris Dawn crew and dozens of principal investigators and scientists convened in Houston, Texas, yesterday to overview the initial findings of the nearly 40 science and research experiments conducted during the Polaris Dawn campaign and its five-day mission in space. We look forward to sharing more details from these experiments soon!
Enjoy the journey and the views from polar orbit, @framonauts! We are excited to see access to space expand through more commercial astronaut missions 🚀🐉👩🚀
Godspeed @framonauts .. Enjoy the ride and Resilience will take you where no humans have ventured before.
