Really a great pick

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.

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

Genuinely curious how an incoming Trump admin handles this … this mission with a 350 ship Navy and dubious returns is an interesting challenge
New: The US military successfully thwarted Houthi attacks targeting two US warships with drones, ballistic and cruise missiles on Monday, @PentagonPresSec Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder tells reporters.

More details to come from US CENTCOM.

This was the rationale for the changes to targeting policy Trump oversaw in the ISIS campaign, which Bibi supported, and who spoke with Trump (and talked him out of withdrawal) to prevent an “Iranian land bridge” to Syria.

I’d hedge against any bet for a rapid US withdrawal

Mike Waltz, Trump's pick for national security adviser, in an op-ed for @TheEconomist this month: "The next president should act urgently to bring the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East to a swift conclusion." But this is his formula for doing so: economist.com/by-invitation/…
