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 […]
According to the President at today's @NASA #COVID19 invention event in the Oval Office "NASA was dead as a doornail and then we reinvigorated it." Let's see if #NASA PAO uses that quote. pic.twitter.com/xszYPicm61 — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) April 24, 2020 Curiously (actually not) NASA omitted the part where Trump said "NASA was dead as a doornail and then we reinvigorated it."

Trump: “THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR A WOMAN OUTSIDE OF THE SPACE STATION. OUR FLIGHT ENGINEER, CHRISTINA COOK AND FLIGHT ENGINEER JESSICA MEIR. I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU, WHAT YOU DO IS INCREDIBLE. SO, YOU’RE VERY BRAVE PEOPLE. I DON’T THINK I WANT TO DO IT. I MUST TELL YOU THAT. BUT YOU ARE AMAZING PEOPLE. THEY’RE CONDUCTING THE FIRST EVER FEMALE SPACE WALK TO REPLACE AN EXTERIOR […]
When asked about space exploration moments ago Pres. Trump said "Our facilities were virtually closed up. There was crabgrass growing on the runways. We will be going to Mars and stopping at the Moon. We've already been there but then we'll head to Mars." #artemis #NASA #Moon2024 pic.twitter.com/8me3409apa — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) September 20, 2019
