Billionaire spacewalker Jared Isaacman bids for NASA's top position, highlights Mars trip for astronauts

On April 9, billionaire space enthusiast Jared Isaacman, nominated for NASA's top position, presented his vision for space exploration. He emphasised that sending astronauts to Mars would be a priority under his leadership. President Donald Trump had nominated Isaacman as the 15th administrator of NASA late the previous year. If confirmed, Isaacman would become the youngest individual to lead the space agency, which is currently focused on returning astronauts to the Moon, and he would be one of the few administrators with actual experience in space travel.
