He's just fascinated by it all.
I told him we were going to have you on the program today, and he told me, will you ask him how long will it be, in his opinion, until we can put a man or woman together?
on the surface of Mars.
What does that time frame look like to you?
I understand the focus right now is moon base, but aspirationally having so-called moonshots matters.
It really kind of gets the attention of my 18-year-old, but there's a lot of kids out there, grandkids out there that are going to be listening to this segment that would love to know an answer to that, to think aspirationally about our future in the stars.
One last question.
Tomorrow this is going to be happening in theory.
At what time, for people out there that want to monitor this incredible endeavor, what should they know?
What are the details?
Wow, it's exciting.
Well, we know how busy you are.
This has been awesome.
We appreciate you making the time, and we look forward to watching the success tomorrow.
Thank you.
That's Jared Isaacman, the head of NASA.
That's really cool.
Again, I like your question, Buck, because it kind of goes to how are these things that we learn going to be applied to other facets of life?
And I think it's really cool to think about a moon base as an aspirational goal to teach us how to one day put life onto Mars and make us a multi-planetary species, which is, I think, pretty incredible.
But I want to tell you, in the meantime, maybe you just want to worry about life here on good old Earth.
