Asked @repjimcooper at the Reagan National Defense Forum if the US is in a space race with China. His response? "Hell yes" A top Space Force general agreed and said China is developing its space capabilities at "twice the rate" of the US. https://t.co/2HZZFx8LPG — PolitiTweet.org

To recap: Russia shot a missile into space which hit a satellites & created a massive debris field - which all of humanity will be dealing with for years to come. It also endangered the lives of the entire space station crew. Everything we know: https://t.co/pO99BgxqUy — PolitiTweet.org

@SpcPlcyOnline @lorengrush @NASA @SenBillNelson Me three!! — PolitiTweet.org

Kristin Fisher @KristinFisher

Nelson: “I’m outraged by this irresponsible & destabilizing action. With its long & storied history in human spaceflight, it is unthinkable that Russia would endanger not only the American and international partner astronauts on the ISS, but also their own cosmonauts.” — PolitiTweet.org

Kristin Fisher @KristinFisher

Finally a statement from NASA about Russia’s anti satellite weapons test. @SenBillNelson confirms it was debris from that test which forced astronauts (and cosmonauts!) on board the International Space Station to undertake “emergency procedures for safety.” — PolitiTweet.org

US State Dept confirming our reporting, saying Russian ASAT test generated “over 1500 pieces of trackable orbital debris” and will “significantly increase the risk to astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station.” — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, US Space Command is not attributing the debris to Russia or an ASAT test. But two US officials are. — PolitiTweet.org

Kristin Fisher @KristinFisher

NEW - Two US officials confirm a major Russian anti-satellite weapons test over the weekend and US Space Command says it is tracking a "debris-generating event" in outer space. State Dept expected to issue statement soon - with @atwood @jimsciutto @jmhansler — PolitiTweet.org

Alright y'all. It's launch time. SpaceX's 5th crewed launch. Its 4th launch of NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The frequency with which we now have crewed launches from US soil continues to blow my mind. Watch live here: https://t.co/S3YxsLrwjk — PolitiTweet.org

Bezos going deep on his vision to preserve Earth's resources by moving millions of people (many, many years from now) to massive space colonies that orbit the Earth: Q: "On these space colonies, can you get Amazon prime?" Bezos: "Hypersonic delivery is coming soon to you." — PolitiTweet.org

Asked NASA Admin Nelson if he's worried the Artemis delay could allow the Chinese to win this second race to the moon: "We have a very aggressive competitor in the Chinese... and it is the position of NASA - and I believe the US government - that we want to get there first." — PolitiTweet.org

This is not surprising. But it is the first time the Biden administration has officially, publicly acknowledged it. Nelson: "The Trump administration's target of a 2024 human landing was not grounded in technical feasibility." — PolitiTweet.org
