President Donald Trump on Saturday rescinded his nomination of tech billionaire Jared Isaacman to lead NASA, citing a "thorough review of prior associations."
On May 31, 2025, CNN reported that NASA, in collaboration with billionaire Jared Isaacman, announced a groundbreaking private mission to the International Space Station (ISS), set to launch in late 2025. This mission, named Polaris Dawn, marks the first time a private citizen will command a flight to the ISS, with Isaacman leading a crew of three others. The mission aims to conduct various scientific experiments and demonstrate the potential for private sector involvement in space travel. However, the announcement was overshadowed by political controversy as former President Donald Trump criticized the mission, calling it a "waste of taxpayer money" and suggesting that NASA should focus on more pressing issues like national security. Despite Trump's comments, NASA and Isaacman remain committed to the mission, emphasizing its importance for advancing space exploration and inspiring future generations.
