NASA Nominee Isaacman Advances To Full Senate Vote

A Lehigh Valley, Pa.,  tech billionaire is one step closer to running NASA.  The Senate Commerce Committee voted Monday to advance Jared Isaacman’s nomination for NASA Administrator to a full vote.  After initially pulling his nomination earlier this year, President Trump renominated  Isaacman to the role last month, stating that he’s “ideally suited to lead NASA into a bold new era.”  Isaacman is an ally of Elon Musk and has led two private spaceflight missions with SpaceX.
