T-minus 4 hours until Crew-11 launches! I’m around Brevard County talking to local media about the importance of NASA, SpaceX, and our commercial partners working together to lead the next era of space exploration right from Florida’s Space Coast.

Thanks for the visit, Brian Babin! We’re excited to continue working with you as we take on bold missions, push innovation in space and inspire the next generation to Dream Big!

Proudly made in America. Our engineers, welders, and machinists are cranking out the cutting-edge rockets that keep AMERICA FIRST in space.

LIVE: Join us for today's coverage of NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 launch to the International Space Station. Crew-11 is scheduled to lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 11:43am ET (1543 UTC). Share your questions with #AskNASA and we'll answer a few on stream! x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Congrats NASA & SpaceX on the successful launch and docking of #Crew11 with the International Space Station! The crew now begins their ISS mission, carrying out vital research and experiments to push the boundaries of space exploration and discovery.

We’re at a point in our nation’s history where problems have been allowed to stack up, and as a freshman in Congress I’ve had more influence to address them than I expected. On Armed Services GOP and @HouseScience I’m taking them head on—fixing our defense, helping President Donald J. Trump achieve

With President Trump’s leadership and the One Big Beautiful Bill, Congress made a bold commitment: a sustained U.S. presence on the Moon and the Stars and Stripes on Mars. Chairmen Brian Babin and Senator Ted Cruz are working to make that vision a reality. science.house.gov/press-releases…

Under Pres. Trump’s leadership, DOE is moving fast to deploy advanced nuclear energy—launching pilot programs for next-gen reactors and bolstering domestic fuel production to end reliance on China and Russia. This is American energy leadership in action. energy.gov/articles/energ…

NSF is investing up to $100 million in a new national network of AI-programmable cloud laboratories. The program aims to broaden access to advanced technology to accelerate scientific discovery and innovation. ☁️ bit.ly/4m3BR9z

As China and Russia work to expand their lunar presence, America must lead. A smooth transition from the ISS—and a clear focus on what comes next in low-Earth orbit and beyond—are essential to sustaining U.S. leadership in space. politico.com/news/2025/08/0…

.@HouseScience Republicans are committed to returning Americans to the Moon—not just for exploration, but for U.S. leadership, innovation, and global competitiveness. The Moon matters—and the reasons why are vast and vital.

🚨 Landing Americans back on the Moon isn’t just symbolic—it’s strategic. Beating China there isn’t optional—it’s essential. No delays. No distractions. President Trump’s directives must be met. Read more from Chairman Brian Babin ⬇️ washingtontimes.com/news/2025/aug/…

Yesterday, Secretary Chris Wright visited Savannah River National Laboratory where they support a robust nuclear weapons stockpile through top-of-the-line technologies to ensure safety and reliability.   America leads when our labs lead! 🇺🇸

The Moon is our next frontier. For American leadership, security, and economic strength, we need to get there FIRST. As Chair of the Space Subcommittee on House Science Committee, I’m working to make sure we beat China there.

ICYMI: Beating China to the Moon isn’t optional—it’s essential. Trump gave the order. Now it’s time to deliver. 🚀🇺🇸 My latest in the The Washington Times: washingtontimes.com/news/2025/aug/…

We mourn the loss of NASA legend Jim Lovell—Navy captain, test pilot, and commander of Apollo 13, where his courage helped turn near-tragedy into triumph. From Apollo 8 to two Gemini missions, his legacy continues to inspire space exploration. A true patriot and hero.

America has lost a true hero. Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell led his crew safely home after an oxygen tank exploded on the way to the Moon. His courage and leadership inspired a nation. NASA and all of America will miss him. God doesn’t make many like Jim Lovell.
