Billionaire Jared Isaacman faces confirmation vote for Nasa chief

Billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman is poised to become NASA's administrator after his nomination cleared a Senate procedural vote, following an unusual process where President Trump initially withdrew and then resubmitted his name. Isaacman, who made history as the first non-professional astronaut to perform a spacewalk, would be NASA's first leader in decades without prior government experience. His primary objective centers on beating China in returning humans to the Moon and establishing a permanent lunar base for mining and Mars missions.
