The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

And that's going to make it very hard for us to recruit talent.

It's going to make it very hard for us to retain talent.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

So what do you do?

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

You pivot in a direction that others shouldn't necessarily be working on.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

Nuclear power and propulsion is a great example.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

Lots of great nuclear companies right now.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

I've

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

I think there's a lot of demand, terrestrial demand for energy.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

So maybe that's probably the near-term demand signal.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

So NASA can do what probably others wouldn't want to take on the liability of, of launching a nuclear reactor with power and propulsion so we can get to Mars someday and actually bring our astronauts back home.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

That's a great example of where NASA should be recalibrating again to the near impossible.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

Yeah, I mean, to me, I think it's obvious.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

I don't know why, you know, these decisions weren't made sooner, but you cannot launch a rocket as important, as complex as SLS every three and a half years and think it's going to lead to a good outcome.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

You know, we had hydrogen leaks on Artemis 1 three and a half years later.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

What did we have?

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

We had hydrogen leaks.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

We had helium flow issues on Artemis 1.

We have three and a half years later.

The a16z Show
The New Space Race: NASA, Artemis, and the Race to the Moon

Why is Artemis 2 back in the Vehicle Assembly Building instead of around the moon right now?

The a16z Show

Helium flow issues.
