Jim Bridenstine on leading NASA, the Artemis program, and commercial space

In Pathfinder #0031, we welcome Jim Bridenstine on to the Pathfinder podcast. Jim was the 13th administrator of NASA, and under his leadership, the US launched the Artemis program, our new human lunar exploration mission. During Jim’s watch, the US also returned to launching its own astronauts to orbit from US soil (with SpaceX). Today's episode is brought to you by Altek Space, a custom manufacturer of essential parts and components for rockets and satellites.
