Inside Artemis II and the next space race, with NASA’s Jared Isaacman

About this episode

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman discusses the future of space exploration following the Artemis II mission.

Just days after the record-breaking Artemis II splashed down in the Pacific, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman joins Rapid Response for a candid debrief on what comes next. An entrepreneur turned space chief, Isaacman gets frank about the agency's ambitions to build a permanent lunar base, put boots on Mars, and push the search for extraterrestrial life further than ever before. He also addresses the tensions and opportunities in NASA's relationships with SpaceX and Blue Origin, how looming budget cuts could force tradeoffs, and why he sees the accelerating space race with China as one of the most consequential competitions of our time.
