Jared Isaacman: What went wrong at NASA | The All-In Interview

Jared Isaacman was nominated by President Trump to become the 15th Administrator of NASA in December. 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 months 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. I'm doing all of you! Alright, besties, I think that was another epic discussion. People love the interviews.
