He passed out of the Senate Committee in May and was set to be confirmed by the full Senate this week.
However, on Friday, President Trump withdrew his nomination for Isaacman.
We asked Jared to sit down with us for conversation.
We dive into everything, his experiences as a successful entrepreneur, fighter jet pilot,
commander of the world's first all-civilian spaceflight,
and the first civilian to conduct a spacewalk.
What he saw in his six-month studying NASA,
how American government bureaucracy has eroded its performance and puts the nation at risk in the great space race underway with China.
And what really happened.
Was it a discovery about prior donations to Democratic candidates or an association with Elon Musk that lost him the nomination?
Here's my conversation with Jared Isaacman Jared welcome I, like many space enthusiasts,
was thrilled for your nomination to lead NASA as the 15th administrator of the agency.
Founded in 1958, the year after the Russians put Sputnik into orbit, NASA's perhaps, in my opinion,
the US government's most pioneering agency,
having organized and led our exploration missions to the moon,
Mars, the outer solar system, and beyond.
as well as the launch of important scientific missions to observe the earth,
to observe our solar system and the deep universe,
and of course the installation and operation of the ISS.
