Billionaire spacewalker Jared Isaacman is back before the Senate after being yanked and then renominated by President Donald Trump for NASA’s top job. Isaacman appeared before the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee on Wednesday, eight months after his first nomination hearing. Isaacman told the panel that NASA needs “full-time leadership” as it prepares to send astronauts back to the moon. Isaacman was within days of being confirmed by the Senate as NASA’s 15th administrator when Trump pulled his nomination in May. The president renominated Isaacman last month. The tech entrepreneur has rocketed into orbit twice with SpaceX, buying his own flights.
