Billionaire spacewalker Jared Isaacman, Nasa chief pick, was once a school dropout

India Today  

Jared Isaacman, a billionaire astronaut who led the first private spacewalk during a SpaceX mission in September, has been tapped by US President-elect Donald Trump to lead Nasa, the country's top space agency. Three years later, he commanded another mission on Crew Dragon, which set several records, including the highest altitude achieved on a crewed mission since Apollo 17 in 1972 and the first private spacewalk. Commander @rookisaacman has egressed Dragon and is going through the first of three suit mobility tests that will test overall hand body control, vertical movement with Skywalker, and foot restraint pic.twitter.com/XATJQhLuIZ — SpaceX September 12, 2024 During the successful mission in September, crew members raised money for St Jude Children's Research Hospital. This has posed an existential threat to Nasa's Space Launch System rocket, a massive, over-budget launch vehicle built by Boeing and Northrop Grumman and a crucial element of its Artemis programme alongside Starship.
