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

So like my Occam's razor analysis on that is it's more likely in that camp than it is

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

all the miracles that would need to happen for intelligent life out there, which I believe is, like I just have to believe it based on the size of the universe, that these miracles that needed to happen to create life are not that unique, that certainly would have happened again.

The Shawn Ryan Show

But for it to exist, to build a spaceship, to travel at the speeds necessary to show up at this particular time in our history, super low in probability.

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

That's about the extent of how I can articulate it.

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

Flying through black holes and wormholes and such like that.

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

I hope we can at some point because we're not going to... If we are... If our limits are sub-light speed, like materially sub-light speed, we're not going to get very far, right?

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

So we're going to have to be putting...

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

putting humans in some sort of cryo sleep and, you know, they're going to wake up thousands of years later.

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

Like that's, so my point is like, I want to believe that we will crack the code on some sort of exotic form of propulsion that will take us close to those kinds of speeds simply because we won't be able to explore without it.

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

Um, but I, like I, uh,

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

I'm not betting on wormholes or anything anytime soon, but I'd love to see us moving in the direction of goodness, which would be nuclear propulsion, and then kind of evolving from there.

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

It's all of that.

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

It's everything we don't know.

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

You think we can use it?

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

I mean, if the question is like, what is it that captivates you or interests you about it all, is there is so much we haven't figured out or understand yet, and therefore it's intriguing.

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

I mean, I remember, I think it was probably like fifth or sixth grade in geography class and how bummed out I was looking at a map.

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

And it's like, man, we found all the damn islands, we crossed all the seas, we climbed the mountains, like what's left?

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

Yeah.

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

And then you go and you look up at the stars and you're like, oh man, there's a, there's an awful lot left out there.

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

Right.
