NASA's new Plan to Award SpaceX the Mars Base contract Shocked the Whole Industry…REPLAY#63
Jared Isaacman, the accomplished billionaire and astronaut, is now on the verge of becoming the official Administrator of NASA. Many observers believe that he will introduce bold and forward-leaning decisions once he assumes leadership. Even today, he is already demonstrating that ambition through his proposal to partner with SpaceX and use Starship to establish a base on Mars.
The idea of humans arriving on the Red Planet is no longer distant or impossible. It is becoming a clear and achievable objective.
So how will this plan actually work, and why is SpaceX’s Starship considered the strongest candidate for such a mission?
Let us explore these questions in today’s episode of Great SpaceX.

Isaacman will bring a combination of youthfulness, enthusiasm, and a forward-looking mindset that many believe will drive meaningful change across NASA. His leadership style suggests a willingness to pursue innovation, embrace new technologies, and accelerate the agency’s long-term goals. Among those goals, the highest priority from the United States is clear. The nation expects him to ensure that the United States maintains its lead over China in the race to the Moon. This objective has been emphasized repeatedly at the congressional level. Yet Isaacman has made it equally clear that his aspirations do not stop at the lunar surface. He is already thinking about Mars and looking far beyond the immediate requirements of his potential role.

That is why, even before receiving the official title, he has introduced a significant and ambitious proposal related to the Red Planet. He wants NASA to establish a contract with SpaceX to use Starship for the construction of a human base on the surface of Mars. An image of the internal proposal document has been shared publicly, offering a glimpse of the plan. In the section discussing SpaceX, the document outlines plans not only for the Moon, the Dragon spacecraft, the deorbit vehicle, and the Starlink constellation, but also for a Mars Discovery Base contract. This initiative is labeled Olympus and described as a plan centered on In-Situ Resource Utilization, or ISRU. It remains unclear whether Olympus refers to the name of the base, the name of the project, or a target location on the Martian surface. Regardless of the interpretation, the implications are substantial.
