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

60 years ago today, Jim Lovell and Buzz Aldrin launched on Gemini XII, the final flight of Project Gemini, from LC-19 aboard a Titan II.
Over four days, they docked with their Agena (Aldrin worked the rendezvous by hand after the radar failed), and Aldrin's three EVAs, 5 hr 30 min total, proved astronauts could work outside a spacecraft. Next stop: Apollo.

On Veterans Day we honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of the brave men and women who have defended our freedom and protected the American way of life. Our Nation is forever grateful.
God bless America's veterans! 🇺🇸

Thank you to my @NASA colleagues and special thanks to my @NASAKennedy teammates for demonstrating to thousands of visitors, from all over the world, what makes the Cape so special. The best is yet to come! 🇺🇸🚀💪🏻

🚨 NOW HIRING: NASA is officially taking applications for the next generation of astronauts, who could LIVE on a proposed Moon base.
The job includes training in lunar operations, spacewalks and robotics.
NASA says the new class will “lay the groundwork for the first crew missions to Mars.”
Applications are due early next month, and training could start as early as 2028.
America is going BACK, and this time we're staying.

Under the Trump Administration, ambition is back. Momentum is back. Leadership is back. @NASA is BACK. 🚀🇺🇸

More of this 🇺🇸
American ambition at full throttle. 🇺🇸
An incredible first day of MAX POWER at @NASAKennedy with @airdotshow, and we’re not done yet. This is just a taste of what’s ahead with @capeweek_us.
More power. More inspiration. Let’s go!
Jared Isaacman retweeted
American aerospace deserves the biggest stage in the world. We’re building it right here at @NASAKennedy.
MAX POWER is a preview of what’s ahead: extraordinary machines, the people who build them, and the next generation who will take us farther.
Jared Isaacman retweeted
The hopes and dreams of our children cannot wait, and neither will our rivals overseas. American leadership is never guaranteed. We earn it by choosing to do the hard things and building a future the next generation will be proud to inherit. There are more footprints to leave on the Moon, a Base to build, an American flag to plant on Mars, and prosperity and wonder to be found among the stars. At NASA, we remain on mission 🇺🇸
American ambition. Maximum power.
We didn’t reach for the stars to stop pushing farther. Under @POTUS’ leadership, we’re going back to the Moon. This time, to stay. 🇺🇸

One the most overlooked areas of diplomacy is space diplomacy. 78 countries (and counting) have now joined the Artemis Accords
What a great day with NASA Administrator @rookisaacman. Thanks for the ride over beautiful Cape Canaveral in America 250 F-5 fighters! 🇺🇸
Jared Isaacman retweeted
Today, we’re excited to welcome @POTUS to @NASAKennedy as we begin building a global stage worthy of America’s leadership in aerospace.
CAPEWEEK will be a great American gathering for the people and technologies shaping the future of aerospace, bringing together builders, operators, entrepreneurs, engineers, pilots, investors, explorers, and hundreds of thousands of members of the public.
There is no better stage for this than Kennedy Space Center and the runway that welcomed the Space Shuttle home.
This is where America can show the world what we are building next.

A common axiom in spaceflight is to treat every launch, space walk, and opportunity like it may be your last. I arrived at the international space station expecting to do zero space walks and hoping for one. I've been fortunate to work with the teams across @nasa far more than expected. Yesterday, was a peak moment full of unexpected challenges, real-time solution, and mission success. I feel blessed and thankful for this opportunity to make space a better place for us all. Thanks to the entire team for making it safe, making it fun, and getting it done! It will be the highlight of my career to work with you!

Very pleased to announce our newest X-plane, the X-70 Fractal, is joining the @NASAaero fleet to research and develop advanced flight control technology far beyond anything tested in a crewed aircraft. She will take flight under the @NASA banner within the next two years. The science fiction future we imagined as children is ours to build... and I promise, there will be more 🇺🇸
🚨 BREAKING: Introducing X-70 Fractal, @NASA's newest experimental aircraft!
This crewed, modular aircraft will allow the agency to rapidly swap out internal & external payloads to help keep pushing the frontiers of aviation technology! @nasaadmin

This smoky specter is the Cat’s Head Nebula, captured in intricate detail by @NASAWebb. Its name comes from its shape, which resembles a cosmic kitty sitting with its back toward the viewer. What do you see?
