Donald Trump's nomination of SpaceX astronaut Jared Isaacman as NASA Administrator signals a significant departure from tradition.
Isaacman's business background and ties to Elon Musk suggest a focus on faster space exploration, possibly prioritizing private ventures.
This approach might involve overhauling existing programs like Artemis, possibly cutting funding to speed up Mars missions.
However, Congress, influenced by aerospace lobbyists, could fiercely resist such ambitious and potentially disruptive changes.
