Congratulations to @rookisaacman on his swearing-in as NASA Administrator! — Polaris team
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

Jariko @JarikoDenman is an absolute badass American who took on the challenging of bringing this world record home. He assembled a stacked crew of veterans and pros to support from the air and on the ground. Sen. Sheehy @TimSheehyMT and I were lucky to be in the action and contribute to what was an amazing team effort. 🇺🇸 Huge thanks to all the players..I may not have all social handles so please look them up.

🚨 EPIC! Trump’s soon-to-be head of NASA Jared @RookIsaacman, Sen. @TimSheehyMT, and Retired Army Ranger @JarikoDenman just set the WORLD RECORD for the largest flag flown in freefall, bringing the record back to AMERICA 🇺🇸 This American flag is a whopping 3,200SF, and to make the record even MORE patriotic, the team jumped out of a Vietnam-era Huey from 10,000 feet. Right in time for the start of America’s 250th birthday! The previous record was set just WEEKS ago in Libya, prompting Jariko, who’s served in 15 combat deployments, called Jared up knowing they had to bring the record home. And so they assembled a rockstar team, and made it happen just weeks later, on December 7th—Pearl Harbor Day So freaking badass 🔥

Liv designed the zero-g indicator we flew on Polaris Dawn. She loves aviation, loves space and has a wonderful family @rebeccaperrotto. Please keep my friend in your prayers. I’ll be thinking about her at @StJude marathon tomorrow--hoping for a day no child endures what Liv has.
My girl finished radiation for the second time in her life. She did not want to ring the bell. She reluctantly posed for this picture. She’s having a ton of nerve pain from the brain radiation and her skin is red and burning from the other spots. She’s gone through more than most adults ever will. And yet, she wants to keep on fighting. 🥹❤️

Last night, @rookisaacman and @Gillis_SarahE returned @ExplorersClub Flag #218, which accompanied the Polaris Dawn crew to orbit. It was exposed to the vacuum of space during the mission’s spacewalk and traveled farther from Earth than any crewed mission since humanity last went to the Moon!

For those in to the flying thing....we got stacked slot rolls in F-5E, F-5F, MiG-29 & AlphaJets. You can spot the sweet F-5 avionics. We flew some great people, did a Montana State football flyover and getting ready for a project to honor our nation’s heroes 🇺🇸

Congrats to the new class of @NASA astronaut candidates--especially @annawmenon one of the most amazing people I know. A former NASA biomedical engineer, @SpaceX Mission Director, one of two women astronauts to have already flown farther in to space than anyone before, a rockstar mom of two, wife to @astro_anil and a pioneer who will help lead America’s space program into the future 🇺🇸

A lot of flying this weekend as we brought the first two F-5s into the action. Cool shot w/ MiG-29, F-5E & two Alpha Jets in formation--pretty sure that is a first. Even better, my two nephews got some training in and are closing in on their private pilot licenses.
