Billionaire Spacewalker Jared Isaacman Poised to Lead NASA. Entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, the first non-professional astronaut to walk in space, is one step closer to becoming NASA’s new administrator. The Senate Commerce Committee approved his nomination 19 to 9, sending it to the full chamber for a final vote. While expected to win confirmation, Isaacman faced tough questions about possible conflicts of interest, budget cuts, and his ambitions to send astronauts to Mars. Known for ties to Elon Musk, he’s part of a billionaire group transforming spaceflight through innovation and lower costs. President Trump praised Isaacman’s nomination, saying it would lead to “groundbreaking achievements”. Isaacman has pledged to revamp NASA’s costly programs and expand its human spaceflight efforts with a strong focus on the Artemis moon mission—and possibly Mars.
