Billionaire and nominee to become the next head of NASA Jared Isaacman is certainly a fan of SpaceX having relied on Elon Musk’s company for his two trips to space. But he shared the love across SpaceX competitors during a commencement speech for the fall graduation class at Daytona Beach’s Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on Thursday. The ERAU alumnus earned a fortune as founder and CEO of credit-card processing company Shift4 Payments, which allowed him to pursue his love of aircraft and eventually spaceflight. He received a bachelor’s degree in aeronautics in 2011, and was given an honorary doctorate at the ceremony while also encouraging the graduating class to “a journey into one of the most interesting and really opportune times that aerospace has ever seen.” It’s the second time he’s spoken to ERAU graduates. The first time was soon after his return from his first spaceflight on the Inspiration4 mission in 2021, the first orbital spaceflight with a completely commercial crew. His most recent spaceflight this past September on the Polaris Dawn mission allowed Isaacman to become the first person to perform a commercial spacewalk. He has since been nominated by President-Elect Donald Trump to take over NASA. Clues to where he might try to lead the agency could be found in his commencement speech. He referenced how America’s glory days of aerospace innovation from the 1950s-1980s showcased the country’s ingenuity, but that was followed by about a 30-year drought. “It felt like we really lost our edge. We lost our will to push the boundaries,” he said. “Our tolerance for risk really became near zero, and we got so comfortable, our competitors overseas were able to substantially close capability gaps.” But giving credit the SpaceX accomplishments including the return to U.S.-based human spaceflight, rocket reusability and the potential of Starship, he let the graduating class know there is reason to be optimistic again. But he also gave credit to Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin with their suborbital space launches, gave props to Rocket Lab as a reliable launch provider and highlighted some of the accomplishments that would be part of his charge in NASA if confirmed by the Senate. He called out the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, the success of Martian helicopter Ingenuity and the Europa Clipper mission headed to one of Jupiter’s moons to see if it’s capable of supporting life. “This is wild stuff, and it’s happening right now,” he said. “There are so many exciting industry-wide projects that are underway from Blue Origin’s New Glenn that really should be launching in the very near future, possibly this month, to Rocket Lab’s Neutron, to hypersonics, to direct-to-cell satellites, flying-wing refueling tankers, a wave of autonomous drone technologies. And we’re starting to really live in the future that we all dreamed about as kids.” He praised SpaceX’s Starlink satellite constellation, but also highlighted similar capability from competitors such as Amazon’s in-development Project Kuiper as well as OneWeb, as essential to connecting the world. “What I’m describing here are all proof points that we are stepping into a new era, one that demands really the best talent, motivation, perseverance in the face of adversity and vision for a brighter and more interesting future, the qualities you have undoubtedly begun to develop here at Embry-Riddle,” he said. While he has a vested interest in space, Isaacman said he knows the graduating class will excel in an array of endeavors. “With your education, the opportunities and problems to solve do not necessarily have to be among the stars,” he said. “It’s about taking the knowledge, the skills and the drive that have brought you to this point and using them to solve enormous problems for the benefit of all humankind, whether you’re on or off Spaceship Earth.” But for those that do pursue space-related careers, he sees a much brighter future. “There’s going to be interplanetary spaceships. Heck, there are going to be factories that are making boosters and spaceships, satellites, probes, robots, lasers, space infrastructure. And this is going to happen as fast as we make airplanes today,” he said. He paid deference to President John F. Kennedy in the 1960s challenging a generation to reach the moon, while promoting the new call to action and the efforts already underway at NASA. “You stand at the precipice of your own moonshots,” he said. “We’re choosing to return to the moon to create a future on Mars and beyond and figure out that space economy. We’re going to design aircraft that travel faster, cleaner, more efficiently than they ever have, and to foster a sustainable space and aviation ecosystem.” Whether these solutions come from commercial efforts such as SpaceX or spearheaded by national policy, he expects them to come from the likes of ERAU graduates, he said. ‘It’s you who will make these possibilities real, working on and off the planet to create technologies that will carry our civilization across the skies into space and into the planets beyond,” he said. “And along the way, who knows? Maybe answer some of the questions that we’ve all been thinking about since the beginning of humankind.” ©2024 Orlando Sentinel. Visit at orlandosentinel.com .
