Speaking at the Spacepower conference organized by the Space Force Association, Isaacman made it clear that NASA will continue its efforts to send humans to the Moon, but it is expected that this goal can be achieved without the budget burden of the SLS rocket.
One potential solution may involve combining elements from various rocket companies, such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, and United Launch Alliance, to replicate the capabilities of the Space Launch System. Isaacman will rely on commercial entities to achieve the objectives of the U.S. space industry.
He is confident that the industry will soon begin mass-producing spacecraft at multiple factories. This will include not only SpaceX's Starship but also reusable rockets from Blue Origin and Rocket Lab. The space sector is entering a new era.
Isaacman also discussed the future of his Polaris program, during which he completed the first-ever commercial spacewalk. According to Isaacman, two more Polaris flights—Polaris II for raising the Hubble telescope's orbit and Polaris III, which planned the first crewed flight on Starship—will have to wait. These missions may be postponed for a while.
