This is CBSI on the world. I'm John Batchel. Behind the Black, Bob Zimmerman is here, a NASA story.

Maybe it has a happy ending. Bob, a very good evening to you. Jared Isaacman is a very brave

and accomplished man, a jet pilot. He's flown two private missions in a dragonfly. He's

spacewalked. He's very well to do. He's very generous. He's young.

And brilliantly been appointed the Administrator of Nassi if Congress approves. How's he doing?

Good evening, Bob.

Good evening, John. Yes, there was the hearing before the Senate earlier this week,

grilling Jared Isaacman by senators on what he wants to do as

natural administrator.

And I reported on that early in the week, which I said basically nothing of note occurred.

He was very coy in his answers.

He kept his options open.

They were insist, and this is the key to this story, John.

They were insisting and pressing him over and over again that he should commit to continuing

the space launch system, the SLS rocket, Orion capsule, and the Lundit Gateway Projects,

and to use those to get to the moon as fast as possible and beat the Chinese there.

The Chinese say they're going to get there by 2030 with humans.

And so Congress and senators were all demanding that Eric Eisenman, Jared Eisenman, commit to

that program and those projects unequivocally to get to the moon.

And he was very quiet in his answer.

He said, yes, right now it does appear that those would be the fastest way to do it.

But he repeatedly also mentioned that both, those projects are incredibly over budget behind schedule.
