Jared Isaacman has been nominated to lead NASA administrator.

The tech entrepreneur and pilot served as commander on two private missions to space on board SpaceX ’s crew capsules.

Isaacmanâs first stint in space, Inspiration4, launched in September 2021 with the first all-civilian crew to reach orbit.

Isaacman is more familiar with the commercial side of things, having gone on two private trips to orbit.

With that, there is concern that Isaacman ’s commercial allegiance will take over NASA .

Isaacman 's nomination marks a major shift for NASA under the Trump administration.

With Isaacman at the helm, he could either help bring NASA into the new space age.
