Polaris Dawn Mission Commander Jared Isaacman joins Ed Ludlow to discuss his experience with SpaceX and the Polaris mission, when to expect Polaris 2, and his involvement in the Starship program. He also explains why SpaceX is "a beacon" for the space industry and how it continues to inspire generations of engineers who believe in a multiplanetary future.

Jared Isaacman is the perfect spokesperson & ambassador for the new world of commercial / private human spaceflight. He's articulate, humble, focused, and serious, while remaining sincere and authentic. I always feel like he gives real answers, not PR talking points, not jargon-filled word salad non-answers like NASA so often does.

SpaceX’s grand, multi planetary, vision is very dependent for its future success on the work done by Jarod’s Polaris Dawn project. SpaceX is fully committed to the task of building out an entire industry to build rockets with rapid reusability capabilities that require humans to develop a sustainable civilisation around it. So much more work and resources are needed and time is limited so Polaris Dawn itself must succeed in spawning more development initiatives. People like Jarod Issacman are truly heroes of humanity.

Wow!! BRAVO!! Congratulations to the Starship team on their fifth successful test!

[@temper44]

Notice the underlying business duel at play here. The interviewer asked about SpaceX timelines and what the work was like at SpaceX trying to get economic numbers useful for investors. Isaacman picked up on that and pivoted to talking about SpaceX need for suppliers in life support, energy and logistics that you can invest in. They were speaking to multiple different audiences at the same time.

VISION, DEDICATION, TALENT, ACHIEVEMENT....SPACE-X.

[@marsspacex6065]

Newspace wouldn't exist without SpaceX. It is by far the most important entity in the space economy.

[@Krishell]

I wish more people was like him

[@erictimm]

The host needs to work on his interviewing skills. JFC

[@kimwahchueng5291]

The host tries his best to corner the guest trying to milk something negative of SpaceX but he literally failed to achieve based on his frustrating tones of questioning. Kudos to the guest wits knewing Doomberg’s ill-intentions

[@hemetsonshine]

A little past 3 minutes and I was so irritated with the ignorance of the interviewer I decided to read the comments instead. The interviewer wasted Mr. Isaacman's time. Fortunately, there are much better interviewers for space. ELLIE IN SPACE interviewed Isaacman four months ago.

[@consultoria2010]

Amazing! Insane! Congrats! Historical. From Brazil.

[@lalitsharma3137]

SpaceX is making real life better than the woke SciFi observed at the cinemas. Loved this mission. Waiting for them to save the Hubble.

[@rcmc7352]

Woke SciFi? lol

[@lalitsharma3137]

@@rcmc7352 The Acolyte is a scar on my mind. And I haven't even watched it yet. Absurd lesbo fan fiction bullshit. I'd much rather keep up with raptor engines.

[@TheBowersj]

The interviewer was very annoying, There are literally hundreds of better questions to ask Jared, you can tell that Jared is well researched and knows the industry well.

[@peterkawa9869]

The host was not happy about space x😂😂😂.

[@JamesWitte]

dont think he was unhappy. dudes just nervous as fuck or autistic. The media hates elon atm so maybe they made their intern interview this guy...

[@billthecat7536]

That's Bloomberg as a whole. They despise anything Elon is involved in. Congrats to Jared for not taking the bait and saying what he really feels. A man to be admired.

[@user-to2rf1rj5v]

Ed, you were pretty obnoxious during this interview.

[@hemetsonshine]

Ed Ludlow is a horrible interviewer. Unsubscribing. Ellie in Space did a far better job interviewing Isaacman.
