💨 Abstract

The White House announced it will withdraw Jared Isaacman's nomination to lead NASA and will name a new candidate aligned with President Trump's "America First" agenda. Isaacman, a tech entrepreneur who has flown to space twice, faced scrutiny due to his ties to SpaceX's Elon Musk. Trump's decision comes amid Musk's recent public disagreements with the president. Isaacman had pledged to support both lunar and Martian exploration, aligning with NASA’s Artemis program and Musk's ambitions.
