‘Space is hard’: NASA Administrator Bill Nelson on sending astronauts to the moon and Mars

Firing Line with Margaret Hoover

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson sits down with Margaret Hoover for a discussion on America’s missions to return to the Moon and reach Mars, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) sightings, and NASA's hunt for intelligent life in the universe. Administrator Nelson says “more power to the space billionaires” in their push to explore space, but warns of an “aggressive” new “space race with the Chinese government.”
