There’s a lot taking shape at @NASA_Marshall, from hardware for Artemis III to nuclear technologies that will help us explore farther into space.
I got to spend time with the teams behind that work and recognized some of the people whose contributions make it possible. Hearing them walk through what they’re building, testing, and solving gives you a real appreciation for the expertise here.
Thank you to the Marshall team for the time and the work you put into our missions every day.

NASA and college football… two of my favorite things!
From talking Moon and Mars with students, to presenting a flag that flew around the Moon on Artemis II, to seeing @NASAAdmin’s flyover roar over Bryant-Denny before kickoff, NASA was everywhere in Tuscaloosa!
Some of the young people we met yesterday will help build, fly, and lead the missions that come next. That’s what the Inspiration Tour is all about 🇺🇸🚀

Had a great time at the Washington Space Business Roundtable.
Really enjoyed meeting four of our @NASA interns and learning more about their work. From planetary defense to lunar exploration, they’re tackling some pretty impressive projects and making real contributions to our missions.
It’s exciting to see this kind of talent coming into NASA. Looking forward to seeing what they do next.

It was great to spend time with the team at the Madrid Deep Space Communications Complex, one of three facilities around the world that keep us connected to spacecraft exploring our solar system.
After the devastating wildfires earlier this year, I’m especially thankful for the dedication of this team and the Spanish emergency responders who helped protect the facility.
This is an important partnership, and the work happening here is essential to what comes next in space exploration.
