President Trump announced Tuesday evening that he is renominating private astronaut Jared Isaacman to lead 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,” Trump wrote on his social media network, Truth Social.
In his statement, Trump did not offer an explanation for why he found Isaacman acceptable now after pulling his original nomination in late May.
