Jared Isaacman, former candidate for NASA's leadership, met with Sean Duffy, the acting administrator of the agency, thus resuming his candidacy for this position.

Jared Isaacman, a billionaire and close associate of Elon Musk, was excluded from the race for the NASA leadership last year, but he is now back in the spotlight after a meeting with the agency's acting administrator, Sean Duffy. Duffy stated that the meeting was excellent, and Isaacman is considered a candidate for the permanent leadership role. Previously, Isaacman had been nominated by President Trump but was withdrawn from the race due to disputes with Musk. Isaacman, founder of Shift4 and known for his investments in space missions, has flown twice with SpaceX capsules and launched a program called Polaris, dedicated to space exploration. Although he has not commented on his candidacy, Isaacman has a net worth of approximately two billion dollars and is a significant player in the space industry.
