Isaacman in His Own Words: Artemis in Focus; NASA Admin Senate Vote Soon

 “I would prioritize the Artemis program; If confirmed, I will focus on getting Artemis back on track”; “There will inevitably be a thriving space economy—one that will create opportunities for countless people to live and work in space”; “NASA should … refocus its world-class talent and infrastructure on … developing the next generation of exploration technologies”; “I would work closely with our [Gateway] partners … to find an acceptable path forward”; “a ~50% reduction to NASA’s science budget does not appear to be an optimal outcome”; Full Senate vote on Isaacman to head NASA likely to be week of 2-6 Jun
