Houston, it’s not a problem.

When Donald Trump tweeted Friday night, “We must keep ‘evil’ out of our country,” an account claiming to be the International Space Station replied, “We have space for you up here. Come join us.”

One problem — NASA never wrote it.

“That tweet is fake. It’s just someone having fun,” said NASA social media manager John Yembrick. He said space station tweets are managed from the ground in Houston, and that the offending tweet came from a bogus account.

The social media team at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston flagged the tweet last night and verified it wasn’t real, Yembrick said.

Trump said he would “unlock the mysteries of space” in his inaugural address. He also indicated he wants NASA to focus on sending people to the Moon for additional exploration while cutting its climate change research, according to reports.
