  • U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday tapped Jared Isaacman to lead NASA, selecting a billionaire private astronaut and business associate of Elon Musk to oversee an agency closely linked to the SpaceX founder's business.

The article from Reuters discusses how former U.S. President Donald Trump has selected Jared Isaacman, a billionaire and accomplished pilot, to lead NASA in a potential second term. Isaacman, known for founding Shift4 Payments and for his spaceflight endeavors with SpaceX, would replace Bill Nelson, the current NASA administrator appointed by President Joe Biden. Trump's choice reflects his interest in privatizing space exploration, aligning with Isaacman's background in commercial spaceflight. This move has sparked discussions on the future direction of NASA, particularly concerning its budget, mission priorities, and the balance between public and private sector involvement in space exploration.
