WASHINGTON – Local astronaut and businessman Jared Isaacman, who’s once again in the running to lead NASA, will be back on the hot seat on Capitol Hill this week.
He’ll appear before a Senate committee on Wednesday as part of the confirmation process.
This is a repeat of what Isaacman went through in the spring, but then President Trump withdrew his nomination.
Trump re-nominated Isaacman in October.
Isaacman is the founder of Lehigh County based payment processing company Shift4.
He’s also commanded two private, all-civilian space missions that he funded.
