Happy International Moon Day 🌕! Did you know NASA’s modern return to the Moon started in the '90s? 🚀 The Clementine and Lunar Prospector missions were the first to suggest that water ice might be hiding at the lunar poles, changing how we view the Moon forever. #SpaceHistory #NASA #Moon 1/4
AS17-146-22294 (13 Dec. 1972) --- Scientist-astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt is photographed working beside a huge boulder at Station 6 (base of North Massif) during the third Apollo 17 extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Taurus-Littrow landing site. The front portion of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is visible on the left. This picture was taken by astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, Apollo 17 commander. Schmitt is the lunar module pilot. While astronauts Cernan and Schmitt descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Challenger" to explore the moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Apollo 17 Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit.

57 years ago today, Apollo 11 reached the moon. We succeeded because we built a program based on rigorous science, meticulous engineering, and evidence-based decision-making. Today we celebrate what Americans achieve when united behind a shared mission.

From space, the things that divide us fade away, while the importance of what unites us shines through. We're bringing that focus back to earth with Astronauts For America. Join our mission of restoring respect for the principles of constitutional democracy.

America can lead the world in scientific discovery, but that requires investment, integrity, & commitment from our leaders. At Astronauts For America, we advocate for science-based policymaking in our government, because America's future depends on the decisions we make today.

57 years ago today, the crew of Apollo 11 set out for the moon. Today, we're still reaching for the moon—and reaching for a nation united by the Constitution and the principles that make us great and go beyond the stars.

In space, ignoring evidence is fatal. In democracy, it's corrosive, and just as dangerous. Our mission is to stand up for leaders who use facts, respect expertise, and prioritize data. The stakes are too high for anything else. Our democracy depends on it.

Upholding the rule of law is of the utmost importance, especially for the nation's top law enforcement officer. The next Attorney General has a constitutional obligation to faithfully commit to the principles enshrined in our Constitution.

Astronauts For America @astronauts4america.bsky.social · 14/07/2026
As former astronauts, we know this truth: in spaceflight, you can't delegate critical decisions to someone else and hope for success. The same applies to democracy.  A bipartisan group of judges agrees with us that the rule of law in America is in danger.

Two fatal ICE shootings in less than a week demand accountability. The 14th Amendment protects due process and Congress has a constitutional duty to ensure it. We need action from our representatives for independent investigations, transparency, and a safety-first culture, now.

Astronauts For America is troubled by the firing of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission members. This weakens our safe & secure election process. All eligible voters should be free to cast their ballot, and election officials must be able to do their jobs without political interference.

As astronauts and U.S. service members, we've utilized mail-in voting for decades to vote from military bases abroad and even space. We want to ensure that elections are fair and safe, and that Americans are able to cast their ballots without undue burden. www.space.com/space-explor...
