The Aerospace Corp. President and CEO Steve Isakowitz spoke with Fox News Digital about the future of space exploration, including future Mars and Moon missions.
Steve Isakowitz discusses future spaceflight, AI-controlled ‘hyper-intelligent’ satellites.
"I do think we're entering an age where we're going to have hyper-intelligence satellites, satellites that will not just be dumb cameras that are looking at the Earth and just filming everything, but you could tell it what to look for. So, don't just take pictures of the Pacific Ocean. Look for these kinds of tankers or look for these kinds of ships or look for these kind of warships or these kind of airplanes where you actually have the satellite.

But unlike the Apollo program, we're going back to stay," Isakowitz said."We're looking to actuallyAnd we're not just going to the Moon to see what the Moon looks like. We're actually going to the parts of the Moon, particularly the South Pole, where we actually think there's water resources.
"It's true today that if you want to go into orbit in space, it's millions of dollars. If you want to go to the edge of space for a few minutes. It's hundreds of thousands of dollars. But if you're trying to get it down to tens of thousands, singles of thousands, it's going to take time. I think as demand grows and people feel just like flying on an airplane, that it's safe to do it, and it becomes affordable," Isakowitz said.

Fox Corp. dinged by Dominion settlement in third quarterFox Corp. moved to a loss in its fiscal third quarter, weighed down by Fox News’ nearly $800 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.
