Billionaire entrepreneur and private astronaut Jared Isaacman is NASA's newest administrator after the Senate confirmed his nomination on Wednesday.

Joe Anselmo has been Editorial Director of the Aviation Week Network and Editor-in-Chief of Aviation Week & Space Technology since 2013. Based in Washington, D.C., he directs a team of more than two dozen aerospace journalists across the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Isaacman’s second task would be to make sure America wins that second race. Some, such as former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, have suggested that China is likely to beat America back to the moon. Isaacman has promised the Senate, Trump and the world that he will not allow that to happen. It is a heavy promise.
