2:43:37Now PlayingTech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, President Trump’s pick to lead NASA, will testify before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee on Wednesday morning.
Isaacman, who previously worked with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to test the company’s new spacesuits on the first private spacewalk. He helped fund the flight and was one of four people aboard.
The confirmation hearing comes less than a month since the return of NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who spent more than nine months on the International Space Station after the Boeing Starliner mission was upended by aircraft issues. The president suggested last month that he would pay overtime costs to them for their trouble.
Senators will also question Olivia Trusty on her nomination to become a member of the Federal Communications Commission.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
