Trump Taps Elon Musk's Billionaire Buddy Jared Isaacman to Lead NASA | Firstpost America

US President-elect Donald Trump has nominated billionaire entrepreneur and commercial astronaut Jared Isaacman to be the next leader of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Isaacman is a 41-year-old founder of commercial aerospace defence company, Draken International, and a close associate of tech billionaire and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Earlier this year, Isaacman became the first private citizen to walk in space. In 2021, he led the first flight of an all-private crew of astronauts. Both missions were launched by SpaceX. If confirmed by Congress, Isaacman will be the fifth NASA chief with spaceflight experience.
