CapeWeek is a very good idea
Today, we’re excited to welcome @POTUS to @NASAKennedy as we begin building a global stage worthy of America’s leadership in aerospace. CAPEWEEK will be a great American gathering for the people and technologies shaping the future of aerospace, bringing together builders, operators, entrepreneurs, engineers, pilots, investors, explorers, and hundreds of thousands of members of the public. There is no better stage for this than Kennedy Space Center and the runway that welcomed the Space Shuttle home. This is where America can show the world what we are building next.

Proud to partner with such an incredible team led by @NASAAdmin and at KSC @brianhughes!
American aerospace deserves the biggest stage in the world. We’re building it right here at @NASAKennedy. MAX POWER is a preview of what’s ahead: extraordinary machines, the people who build them, and the next generation who will take us farther.

Last night I witnessed the saying “from Apollo to Artemis” become reality at @NASAKennedy with crews from Apollo 9 and 16 to Artemis II and III; we stand on the shoulders of giants - the connection between Apollo 9 and Artemis III was not lost on those of us in the audience

A special night at Kennedy Space Center. Under the Saturn V, the Artemis II crew, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Jeremy Hansen, shared the evening with Charlie Duke of Apollo 16 and Rusty Schweickart of Apollo 9. Twenty-eight astronauts attended the Artemis Celebration Gala, along with more than 450 guests. King Charles III sent a letter for the occasion. He asks that we not repeat in space the damage we have done to our own planet, especially with space debris and rogue satellites. In his words, “surely we have a sacred duty to do so.” The Sustainable Markets Initiative, which he founded, presented the Artemis II crew with its Astra Carta award. @TheSMI

MAX POWER is now CAPEWEEK, an annual gathering at Kennedy bringing a Farnborough/Paris Air Show rival to the US. Coming to the Space Coast March 27-April 2, 2028 To quote @RepHaridopolos, “You can’t be number one on Earth if you’re number two in space.”

Big move, bigger mission! The Artemis III Space Launch System core stage moved to the transfer aisle at NASA Kennedy. Next up – teams will lift and integrate the massive 212-foot-rocket with the solid rocket boosters as we prepare for the next giant leap in lunar exploration.

Have you heard of @LorettaWhtsides? Along with @elonmusk and @JeffBezos but from an orthogonal perspective, Loretta Whitesides is one of the three most powerful voices authoring and influencing today’s space culture. Her new book SPACEKIND arrives Nov 9th on Amazon.

The growth of the NASA workforce at @NASAKennedy continued today. 🚀🇺🇸💪🏻
Today at NASA Kennedy, nearly 600 new NASA civil servants raised their right hands to affirm their commitment to public service as they join the agency’s mission of exploration and innovation that directly supports the agency’s Artemis missions.

BREAKING: The Pentagon will deploy new counter-drone defenses to Cape Canaveral within weeks as the Space Force moves to protect America’s busiest launch site from small unmanned aircraft. The new capability will come from Joint Interagency Task Force 401, the Pentagon’s counter-drone organization, and integrate with defenses already operating at the spaceport, according to Defense One. The specific technology was not disclosed. Cape Canaveral’s commander said existing radars can detect aircraft ranging from a Cessna to a 747, but the base now needs coverage extending “down to a quadcopter.” The Cape supported 109 launches last year and is central to the White House’s push toward 1,000 annual U.S. launches and reentries by the end of the decade, making the ability to detect small drones an increasingly important layer of launch security.

End of a beautiful era👏🏽👏🏽🫡🚀
This morning’s @SpaceX mission from pad 40 was the last planned Falcon 9 Starlink launch from Florida (and it launched on the fleet leading booster!!), marking the end of an era for these launches on the East Coast. From here on, Starlink missions out of Florida will fly on Starship. The West Coast team will continue regularly launching Starlink from Vandenberg.   Super proud of this incredible team. You’ve made Falcon 9 the most reliable launch vehicle in history. You also helped build the largest low-Earth orbit satellite constellation providing connectivity to millions around the world, and you’ve set the foundation for what’s next.   In the last seven years, Falcon has flown ~260 Starlink missions from the Cape… can’t wait until we launch that and many more with Starship!
