The Power Struggle Over Who Will Run NASA 

“A power struggle has emerged over who will run the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, adding fresh uncertainty about the agency’s leadership,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who is NASA’s acting administrator, has told people that he wants to lead the space agency, according to people familiar with the conversations. So does Jared Isaacman—the billionaire entrepreneur who was the nominee earlier this year before President Trump withdrew his support.”

“Isaacman has re-emerged as a candidate as a push to have a permanent NASA chief intensified in recent weeks. Duffy interviewed Isaacman on Oct. 13 for the job.”
