Trump’s budget jeopardizes America’s foothold in space while our adversaries soar ahead. If we let others take the lead, we’ll wake up in a world playing by their rules. Read my @nytimes op-ed: nytimes.com/2025/06/28/opini…

Rise and shine! Firefly’s #BlueGhost lander captured its first sunrise on the Moon, marking the beginning of the lunar day and the start of surface operations in its new home. Our #GhostRiders have already begun operating many of the 10 @NASA payloads aboard the lander and will continue operations over the next two weeks and into the lunar night. #BGM1

Eight months ago, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore embarked on what was supposed to be an 8-day mission aboard the International Space Station. Williams tells John Dickerson, “I don't feel abandoned,” as NASA finalizes plans to bring them back to Earth.

Reaching for the stars✨ Moving the 212-foot core stage for #Artemis II is no easy feat! Recently, teams with @NASAGroundSys at @NASAKennedy vertically positioned it in High Bay 2, giving technicians 360-degree access. Learn more >> go.nasa.gov/4gGVPUm

What has NASA done for you lately? We've contributed more than $75 billion in economic output, supported over 300,000 jobs, and provided benefits to all 50 states (and the District of Columbia) in fiscal year 2023. Get the receipts: nasa.gov/value-of-nasa/

Congratulations to @SpaceX on its successful booster catch and fifth Starship flight test today! As we prepare to go back to the Moon under #Artemis, continued testing will prepare us for the bold missions that lie ahead -- including to the South Pole region of the Moon and then on to Mars.
Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

The U.S. Southeast was severely affected by #Helene. Scientists with @nasagoddard’s Black marble project processed nighttime satellite images to help identify power outages. These images show Augusta, Georgia; western North Carolina was covered by clouds. go.nasa.gov/3Y7dle3

nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked people will remember: - your favorite planet - whether you call Pluto a planet - how you pronounce the name of the seventh planet - how you made them feel when watching the planets
