Jared Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur and experienced jet pilot, has been chosen as the new NASA Administrator by President-elect Donald Trump.
Isaacman is known for commanding the first all civilian spaceflight, Inspiration 4, and initiating the Polaris Program for private space exploration.
He replaces the outgoing Administrator Bill Nelson and is experienced in commanding a space mission, making him the first person with such expertise to lead NASA.
Isaacman aims to drive public-private collaboration, global partnerships, and technological development as NASA advances the Artemis mission and prepares for Moon landings.
