Billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman has been nominated by Donald Trump to lead Nasa.
Isaacman, the founder of Draken International and an experienced jet pilot, led the first all-private crew of astronauts and made the first civilian spacewalk.
If confirmed, Isaacman will guide Nasa through its plans to return humans to the moon and send crews to Mars.
His nomination raises questions about the future of the government-funded Space Launch System rocket in the Artemis program.
