Keith’s note: Here we go again. Its presidential transition team season and all the space fans are lining up trying to get their ideas in front of the new Administration. As is usually the case someone starts a white paper and looks for supporters who invariably start to edit and nick pick and add wish lists. Space organizations such as the Space Foundation, the Coalition for Deep Space Exploration, the […]

More lies from the White House about @NASA – #NASA was great before you arrived and will continue to be great after you are long gone. #LaunchAmerica #Crew1 https://t.co/AVK7zHSjFB — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) November 16, 2020 Congratulations to NASA and SpaceX on today's launch. It’s a testament to the power of science and what we can accomplish by harnessing our innovation, ingenuity, and determination. I join all Americans and the […]

Looking forward to addressing the U.S. Senate Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee tomorrow. At the least, I believe you will all enjoy my opening remarks. I'm hoping there will be some insightful questioning.https://t.co/bynbQXz7Rp — Greg Autry ?????????? ?? ?? (@GregWAutry) November 9, 2020 Keith’s note: You would think that after Joe Biden’s win that hearings on Trump Administration appointees would be moot. I guess not. Senators could be off focusing […]

Keith’s note: A lot of people want Jim Bridenstine to stay at NASA. There’s even a petition online. It should be no surprise to people that I am a fan of Jim Bridenstine – starting with my posts prior to his nomination and confirmation. And I’d like to see him stay in the job. But as Jim notes in these quotes from Irene Klotz, it is preferable for an incoming […]

While the previous administration surrendered America’s status in space, President @realDonaldTrump has invested in @NASA to restore American dominance on the final frontier. @NASAKennedy supports over 24,000 Florida jobs alone!https://t.co/Ulb7toKl9m pic.twitter.com/TigR5A1QEo — The White House (@WhiteHouse) November 2, 2020

Trump: "We built a 6 million pound rocket, and launched it thousands of miles into space. We did it so that two brave patriots could stand tall and salute our wondrous American flag planted on the face of the Moon." #RNC2020 #Artemis — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) August 28, 2020 Trump: "We will put the first woman on the Moon and the United States will be the first to plant it's […]

"Soon Americans will be sent to Mars" – Eric Trump #RNC2020 — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) August 26, 2020 Keith’s note: The prepared line was “And soon under my father’s leadership, it will send Americans to Mars.” OK Eric, what does “soon” mean? The target date for human Mars missions is still the mid 2030s. That is hardly “soon”. Maybe you should check with your brother-in-law Kyle Yunaska, the NASA Deputy […]

Kushner shakes up Trump campaign team, Politico “Kushner on Tuesday replaced chief operating officer Michael Glassner with [Former NASA CFO] Jeff DeWit, who held the same position in Trump’s 2016 campaign. … DeWit, a former Arizona state treasurer, is a Trump loyalist who played a key role in the president’s 2016 win. Trump later nominated him to serve as chief operating officer at NASA, a position DeWit stepped down from […]

Keith’s note: This video is posted on a non-Trump campaign YouTube account. I find it disturbing that a video image of me and my son is being used in political propaganda without my knowledge or consent. That is wrong. @nasa @JimBridenstine https://t.co/cXcKHxmn6e — Karen L. Nyberg (@AstroKarenN) June 4, 2020 Looks like the Trump campaign pulled their space-themed TV ad offline. Gee, wonder why? 😉 https://t.co/9bl4Spu8bG #LaunchAmerica pic.twitter.com/sXEcwJFZ3v — NASA […]

Remarks by President Trump at Kennedy Space Center “Today, the groundbreaking partnership between NASA and SpaceX has given our nation the gift of an unmatched power: a state-of-the art spaceship to put our astronauts into orbit at a fraction of the cost of the Space Shuttle. And it’s much better. From now on, the United States will leverage the fast-growing capabilities of our commercial sector and the finest pieces of […]
