US President-elect Trump has stated that he will nominate fintech billionaire, senior SpaceX investor, and astronaut Jared Isaacman to be the next NASA administrator. If confirmed, Isaacman will be responsible for managing an institution with a budget of around $24.8 billion, which includes a range of manned and robotic space exploration programs, including the flagship Artemis moon landing mission. Isaacman's nomination may raise concerns that he will favor SpaceX in NASA's policies and contracts. Having flown to space twice with SpaceX, he is also a significant investor in SpaceX led by Elon Musk, a key partner of NASA and frequent bidder for the agency's contracts. Musk quickly congratulated Isaacman in a social media post.
