FULL INTERVIEW: Jared Isaacman says if you don't want data centers in your backyard, put them in space. The physics isn't broken, the economics are hard, and hitting pause while rivals keep building isn't a strategy.
@rookisaacman is the Administrator of
@NASA. He joined
@theojaffee and
@schisofrenia on the new U.S. Space Academy, nuclear propulsion, and why he thinks losing the second space race would cost more than anyone expects:
00:42 the Space Academy the President just announced
01:58 why it's a four-year federal academy, not a trade school
02:52 attracting talent is easy, keeping it is the hard part
03:13 why NASA can never overlap with industry
03:53 why NASA has aura and the IRS doesn't
05:11 Elon refocusing on the moon, and why Mars is still the prize
06:34 fission, then fusion, then antimatter annihilation
07:50 what AI builders could learn from how NASA tells its story
09:09 if you don't want data centers in your backyard, put them in space
11:43 whether we should build a Dyson swarm
12:51 bring HD cameras this time, we're leaving no doubters behind
13:18 putting iPhones on Artemis II was one of his first executive orders
13:57 what the ISS is actually doing up there
15:05 the nuclear octocopter going to Titan
16:12 why NASA should exist at all when the private sector can do it
17:43 the space race nobody is talking about
