Quick Summary:

WASHINGTON :President Donald Trump's nominee to lead NASA, entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, will face questions from senators on Wednesday about on how to balance Trump's focus on reaching Mars with the U.S.space agency's flagship moon program.

Isaacman, CEO of payment processing company Shift4 Payments, is a close partner of Elon Musk's SpaceX who has flown to space twice as a private astronaut on the company's spacecraft.

The four astronauts assigned to NASA's Artemis 2 mission - which involves a flyby of the moon in 2026 before a subsequent moon landing mission - had front row seats in the hearing.
