Former US President Donald Trump has made a significant decision regarding the future of NASA. Reports suggest that if Trump returns to the White House, he plans to nominate Jared Isaacman — a close associate of Elon Musk and a tech entrepreneur — as the next head of NASA.
Isaacman, a billionaire pilot and founder of Shift4 Payments, is best known for leading the first all-civilian space mission with SpaceX. His strong ties with Musk and deep involvement in private space missions are seen as indicators of the direction Trump may take for the US space agency — potentially favoring public-private partnerships and commercial space ventures.
This move reflects Trump’s continued interest in space exploration and his alignment with private players like SpaceX to push forward American dominance in space.
