JUST IN: President Trump Re-Nominates Jared Isaacman to Lead NASA

[Conservative Angle]

​

In a major reversal, President Trump has re-nominated Jared Isaacman to lead NASA.

Isaacman is a billionaire astronaut with close ties to Elon Musk.

Earlier this year, President Trump yanked his original nomination of Jared Isaacman.

Since then, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy has been filling in for the role.

However, in a post on Truth Social, President Trump just announced the he is, once again, nominating Isaacman for the position:

Sean Duffy has done an incredible job as Interim Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This evening, I am pleased to nominate Jared Isaacman, an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot, and astronaut, as Administrator of NASA. Jared’s passion for Space, astronaut experience, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of exploration, unlocking the mysteries of the universe, and advancing the new Space economy, make him ideally suited to lead NASA into a bold new Era. Congratulations to Jared, his wife Monica, and their children, Mila and Liv. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

Back in May, President Trump pulled his nomination of Isaacman for Administrator of NASA after finding out that he had a history of donating to Democrats.

Fox News provided some additional background:

Trump originally tapped Isaacman, a commercial astronaut and founder and CEO of payment processing company Shift4 Payments, for the post, but Trump rescinded his nomination in May amid tension between the president and Musk…

Trump originally said when he revoked Isaacman’s nomination for the position that the move came after “a thorough review of prior associations.”

Furthermore, Trump said he would select a “new Nominee who will be Mission aligned, and put America First in Space.”

Isaacman’s ties to Musk include being an investor in SpaceX, and leading two private spaceflight missions with SpaceX, including Inspiration4. The 2021 Inspiration4 mission marked the first time an all-civilian crew orbited Earth.

In response to the big news, Jared Isaacman posted a lengthy statement thanking President Trump and Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy.

Thank you, Mr. President @POTUS, for this opportunity. It will be an honor to serve my country under your leadership. I am also very grateful to @SecDuffy, who skillfully oversees @NASA
alongside his many other responsibilities.

The support from the space-loving community has been overwhelming. I am not sure how I earned the trust of so many, but I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations.

To the innovators building the orbital economy, to the scientists pursuing breakthrough discoveries and to dreamers across the world eager for a return to the Moon and the grand journey beyond–these are the most exciting times since the dawn of the space age– and I truly believe the future we have all been waiting for will soon become reality.

And to the best and brightest at NASA, and to all the commercial and international partners, we have an extraordinary responsibility–but the clock is running. The journey is never easy, but it is time to inspire the world once again to achieve the near-impossible–to undertake and accomplish big, bold endeavors in space…and when we do, we will make life better here at home and challenge the next generation to go even further.

NASA will never be a caretaker of history–but will forever make history.

Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history
