The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

And it was not something we did to it.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

There was a line under the floorboards that like disconnected.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

And you had really no indication.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

Bottom line is like urine was just getting sprayed into the bottom half of the vehicle.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

It's down, you know, kind of, it's not like you'd see like,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

like pee floating around.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

It was trapped underneath the vehicle in a bad spot, and it was mixing with this chemical that accelerated the corrosion on the pressure vessel of the vehicle.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

And in three days, that combination of urine and that chemical actually started corroding portions of our spaceship.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

Oh, wow.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

They needed to figure that out immediately because NASA Crew-2 was on the space station.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

They used that toilet.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

And that vehicle's up there for six to nine months.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

And it's like, if the same thing happened to them, we could have a serious problem with the integrity of that spaceship.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

And the same thing did happen to them.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

And there was a lot of corrosion.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

And SpaceX had to immediately go to work and do a bunch of testing to make sure that that hull of that vehicle was capable of surviving the conditions of reentry.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

So that becomes like kind of day one priority or something with like the parachutes or an avionics issue.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

Like they want to get to the things immediately that affect human life.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

And then some of the nice to have stuff that you don't need to figure out right away, that's like two weeks later, four weeks later, and it's kind of more technical.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#234 Jared Isaacman - Will China Trigger the Next Sputnik Moment for NASA?

I was nominated for the NASA gig two months after I got back from the mission, and it was shortly thereafter when I was at Mar-a-Lago where I saw him for the first time, and we were more talking about things like
