👨🚀 From Salt Lake City to the Moon.
Students trained like astronauts in virtual reality—and are now launching real projects to the surface of the Moon. 🚀
This spring, we partnered with @slcschools to bring Starborn Academy to every middle school. The results speak for themselves:
💡 63% of students became more aware of STEM careers
📈 52% reported increased interest in pursuing STEM jobs
💻 43% became more interested in pursuing computer science jobs
🎥 Hear what teachers, students, and school leaders had to say about the impact. Huge thanks to @Team_SLEF and @slcCouncil for their incredible support throughout this year’s programs!
✨ Beginning in the 2025/2026 school year, we’re offering schools free access to VR headsets through our Moon Mission program (limited supply available).

I am honored to receive President Trump’s @realDonaldTrump nomination to serve as the next Administrator of NASA. Having been fortunate to see our amazing planet from space, I am passionate about America leading the most incredible adventure in human history.View quoted post on X
On my last mission to space, my crew and I traveled farther from Earth than anyone in over half a century. I can confidently say this second space age has only just begun. Space holds unparalleled potential for breakthroughs in manufacturing, biotechnology, mining, and perhaps even pathways to new sources of energy. There will inevitably be a thriving space economy—one that will create opportunities for countless people to live and work in space. At NASA, we will passionately pursue these possibilities and usher in an era where humanity becomes a true spacefaring civilization.
I was born after the Moon landings; my children were born after the final space shuttle launch. With the support of President Trump, I can promise you this: We will never again lose our ability to journey to the stars and never settle for second place. We will inspire children, yours and mine, to look up and dream of what is possible. Americans will walk on the Moon and Mars and in doing so, we will make life better here on Earth.
It is the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role and to work alongside NASA’s extraordinary team to realize our shared dreams of exploration and discovery.
Grateful to serve,
Jared
