The Senate Committee will hold a long -awaited confirmed hearing for President Donald Trump’s candidate to lead NASA on Wednesday morning.
The NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman, will appear before the committee at 9:00 am from the East, defending his leadership to convert a new era for the legendary agency.
Isaacman is expected to use the declaration of openness and testimony to express its commitment to promote the mission of NASA to land on Mars and return to the astronauts to the lunar surface, the latter is a priority for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), president of the Committee whose state is the home of the Johnson Space Center and a robust commercial space sector.
Cruz and Isaacman with the week before the audience, after which Cruz tweeted that the nominee “promised that American astronauts return to the lunar surface as soon as possible so that we can develop the necessary technologies to go to Mars.”
“The moon mission must occur within the term of President Trump or China will beat us there and build the first moon base,” Cruz added. “The Artemis and Moon-To-Mars program are critical for American leadership in space!”
Trump began the lunar program, now called Artemis, he lasted his first year in office. But in his January opening speech, he mentioned sending American astronauts to Mars but not the moon.
“We will continue our destiny manifest in the stars, throwing American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars,” he said.
Isaacman would have his work for him leading the agency, sailing through bureaucratic and budgetary charges, as well as the policy of leading the agency. But as the administration approaches its 100th day, NASA would benefit without a doubt the confirmation of a new leader.
“I am slippery, the Senate has scheduled a hearing to consider the nomination of Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator,” said Interine Administrator Janet Petro to Breitbart News in a statement. “Isaacman’s experience on the commercial space flight and its commitment to the progress of spatial capacities align with NASA’s continuous efforts to improve the position of the United States as a global leader in space exploration.

Bill Nelson, NASA administrator of former President Joe Biden and former American senator until his defeat by Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), or boasted to travel to space while he was a member of Congress.
Isaacman’s two space flights double Nelson’s lonely visit.
That record clearly impressed Trump.
When announcing the Isaacman nomination in December, Trump praised him as “clearly an consummated business leader, philanthropist, pilot and astronaut” that “will boost NASA’s discovery mission, pave the Wayeign, exploration and exploration, and exploration, and exploration, and explore, and raise and create.
Many others believe that Isaacman is the man of work.
Former speaker Newt Giningrich and former representative Bob Walker wrote in February for Breitbart News that Isaacman is the “inspiring leader” Nasa Needs, whose nomination “represses a unique opportunity to combine the ingenuity of the private sector with the power of the federal government.”
“Given the golden age of American innovation that President Trump intends to build, NASA needs a leader with the vision and experience to think beyond ancient models and bring to the agency to new heights,” they said. “That leader is Jared Isaacman.”
