  • President-elect Donald Trump has tapped a billionaire space tourist to lead NASA. Jared Isaacman, 41, with a net worth of $1.9 billion, has been nominated for Administrator.

Jared Isaacman, the billionaire founder of Shift4 Payments, has been nominated by former President Donald Trump to serve on NASA's advisory council, signaling a potential shift in the space agency's direction towards more commercial involvement. Isaacman, known for his private spaceflight missions, including the Inspiration4 mission, could bring a new perspective to NASA, focusing on integrating private sector innovation and funding into space exploration.

The move is seen as part of a broader strategy to leverage private sector capabilities to reduce costs and accelerate space missions, aligning with Trump's previous policies to encourage commercial space activities.
