In a nearly three-hour Senate confirmation hearing, NASA nominee Jared Isaacman detailed his priorities for Mars exploration and returning humans to the Moon. He committed to NASA’s mission-focused approach while addressing questions about the lunar program's slow progress and the need for efficiency. Isaacman acknowledged competition from China and promised to harness taxpayer dollars effectively. He also faced questions about his ties to SpaceX and the International Space Station's future. Isaacman affirmed commitments to both Moon and Mars as parallel objectives, seeking a long-term culture of accountability at NASA. A vote on his nomination is expected later this month.
