Jared Isaacman

Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show.

We are rolling through the Tuesday edition of the program tomorrow.

Major launch coming as long as the weather holds up.

From NASA, and we bring in now the director of NASA, the head of the space agency, Jared Isaacman, and this is a super exciting... Buck and I are very excited to talk with you, so thanks for making the time for us.

I know it's a very serious time for you guys, but I wanted to start with this question before we get into the space launch.

There is talk that we are going to be putting a base on the moon.

Moon base, I guess, would be one way to put that.

What would that look like and what does that goal in terms of time stretch out to?

Because that sounds pretty amazing.

This is all incredible.

It has been, for people out there, this is kind of extraordinary.

In 1903, I believe I'm right, Orville and Wilbur Wright began to fly.

In 1969, we put men on the moon.

So 66 years from the creation of the first aircraft, the first time of flight, to on the moon.

And then we kind of just stopped.

And obviously, Elon Musk, who I know you know very well, has been important in propelling the space advancement.

How do we avoid stagnating again?

I love these aspirational goals that you're laying out, but I think if we went back in time to 1969, Americans would actually be stunned that our space progress has been quite limited since then.

We're talking to Jared Isaacman, head of NASA, in advance of the launch tomorrow.
