Bloomberg Tech · BONUS: NASA's Jared Isaacman on Ramping Up Space Missions & SpaceX · 27 May 2026 podcast

NASA is one customer of many across all three of those services.

The DOW is, other commercial companies are.

When we start looking at other things to do, like let's just say build a moon base.

And I said this in yesterday's press event.

Look, I can put a demand signal out to industry and buy dozens of landers for the lunar surface to start constructing the moon base.

10 years from now, can I tell you who's going to buy the 50th lander if it's not NASA?

I don't have a clue, but I certainly hope that we will find a way to get more value out than what we have to put in to being on the lunar surface or being in microgravity outside of the established launch observation and communication economy that already exists.

Well, like I said, competition is a great thing.

It worked incredibly well for us during the first space race in the 1960s.

It allows us to do exactly what we're doing now at NASA, which is concentrate our resources on the most pressing national objectives, and then also to empower our workforce to move at a speed that they haven't done in decades.

And I'd say we're off to a good start coming off of Artemis II and where we're going next with Artemis III in 2027.

In terms of how I see this competition now,

Look, getting the boots on the surface of the moon itself is probably going to be the closest element to this.

I would say that the Chinese approach to it is very similar to the Apollo program, lots of missions, iterative approach.

You know, we were up until a couple months ago going from Artemis II flying around the moon to waiting three years to landing on the moon, which I've said many times is not ingredients for success.

You need to be in the business of launching heavy-lift rockets with frequency, and you can't turn them all into a work of art.

That said...

I think NASA is extremely advantaged thanks to our partnership with industry in building the moon base.

Like I said, we had the Eclipse program, we have the LTV program, we have the healthiest launch market in the history of America's space program from SpaceX and Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Stoke, I mean, you name it.

That means we have the ability to put a lot of mass on the lunar surface exactly where we wanna be
