President-elect Donald Trump nominated the tech billionaire to be the next head of the US space agency last week, saying that he would “lead Nasa into a bold new era”. Speaking at the Space Force Association’s Spacepower 2024 conference in Orlando, Florida, Mr Isaacman said plans to send more humans into space will involve some members of the US military. Mr Isaacman, 41, has previously flown to space on two self-funded missions aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule, though his new role working for the US government has put any future trips on hold.
