New NASA Boss Isaacman Says U.S. Will Return to the Moon Within Trump's Term
Isaacman outlines plans for Artemis missions, lunar base, Helium-3 mining, and nuclear propulsion to boost scientific and economic gains on the moon, backed by $9.9 billion funding.
- Recently appointed NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told CNBC on Friday that the U.S. will return to the moon within President Donald Trump's second term, following his Senate confirmation last week.
- Trump initially nominated Jared Isaacman in December 2024, then pulled the pick in May citing 'prior associations,' before his confirmation concluded a long 2025 saga.
- SpaceX is contracted to build the Artemis III lunar landing system, and Artemis II, NASA's first crewed test flight with the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, is expected in the near future.
- Isaacman said the goal is to explore and realize the moon's scientific, economic and national security potential, building a moon base and investing in nuclear power and space nuclear propulsion.
- Longer-Term plans envision infrastructure and resource use on the moon, with Isaacman citing space data centers and Helium-3 mining, amid scrutiny over his ties to Elon Musk.
