President Trump's surprise call during NASA's Roman Telescope launch briefing goes viral

President Trump made a surprise call to NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman following the successful launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, congratulating the team on the achievement. The call came as Isaacman and other experts, including Nicky Fox, Jackie Townsend, Julie McEnery and Denton Gibson, were interacting with the media and discussing the successful liftoff, deployment of the telescope and its future plans. The President contrasted NASA’s current momentum with his visits to agency facilities early in his first term, when he said runways had “grass growing through the cracks.” He described the agency’s work today as “the hottest space” and pledged continued funding support.
