US Senate Approves Jared Isaacman as NASA Administrator

The U.S. Senate has approved the appointment of billionaire investor Jared Isaacman to lead NASA. The 42-year-old Isaacman is an amateur jet pilot who became the first non-professional astronaut to perform a spacewalk.

The U.S. Senate has approved the appointment of billionaire investor Jared Isaacman to lead NASA, concluding an unusual nomination process in which President Donald Trump put his name forward, withdrew it, and then renominated him for the post.
Jared “Rook” Isaacman is the 15th Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Senators confirmed Isaacman’s appointment by a wide margin, voting 67–30.
The 42-year-old Isaacman, an amateur jet pilot who became the first non-professional astronaut to perform a spacewalk, is the first NASA administrator in decades to come directly from outside the government.
Trump has made it clear that he wants the United States to establish a permanent lunar base to extract resources and serve as a stepping stone to Mars.
Trump first announced his intention to nominate Isaacman in December 2024, but withdrew the nomination in May amid a public dispute with Isaacman’s associate Elon Musk.
According to Forbes, Isaacman’s net worth is estimated at $1.2 billion (£894 million), largely from his payment-processing company and the sale of a firm that trained pilots and operated a private fleet of military aircraft.

Jared Isaacman

Isaacman dropped out of high school at age 16 and founded United Bank Card, a payment-processing company, from his parents’ basement. The company was later renamed Shift4.
Shift4 now serves millions of businesses worldwide. In 2020, Shift4 went public, and in 2025, Isaacman stepped down as CEO.
Isaacman’s entrepreneurial spirit extended into aerospace.
In 2011, Isaacman co-founded Draken International, which provides training to U.S. military pilots.
In 2021, Isaacman commanded Inspiration4, the first all-civilian orbital spaceflight aboard the Dragon spacecraft. The mission was a major milestone in commercial spaceflight.
Three years later, he led another human spaceflight mission, Polaris Dawn. Reaching an altitude of about 900 miles, it was the farthest humans had traveled from Earth since Apollo 17.
Isaacman conducted the first commercial spacewalk, and both missions included dozens of scientific experiments and achieved milestones that advanced the purpose of human spaceflight.

NASA History

Formed in response to early Soviet space achievements, NASA was based on the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which was the center of U.S. civilian aerospace research and development.
Since October 1, 1958, when NASA began operations, it has accelerated work on human and robotic spaceflight and has been responsible for scientific and technological achievements that have had a broad impact on our country and the world.
Gemini Program (1964–1966): Tested critical technologies for lunar missions, including the first U.S. spacewalk (Ed White).
Apollo Program (1961–1972): Fulfilled JFK’s goal with Apollo 11 (1969), landing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the Moon; through Apollo 17 (1972), 10 more astronauts walked on the Moon.
Skylab and Shuttle Era (1973–2011): Launched America’s first space station, Skylab; the Space Shuttle fleet (Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour) flew for 30 years, building the ISS.
