The Trump administration recently nominated Jared Isaacman as NASA Chief Executive, suggesting he is not "completely consistent" with the president's agenda.
"NASA executives will help humans enter space and carry out President Donald's bold mission to plant the American flag on Mars on Mars," White House assistant press secretary Liz Huston told Fox News Digital on Saturday.
Houston added that it is “essential” to the next leader of NASA to be fully aligned with President Trump’s “America First” agenda.
According to the White House, Trump will directly announce a replacement.

Trump later achieved socialization to confirm the removal.
"After a thorough review of the previous association, I hereby withdraw the nomination for Jared Isaacman," the president wrote in a post. "I will soon announce a new nominee who will be appointed to unanimously and put the United States in space. Thank you for your attention on this matter!"
Isaacman is the founder and CEO of the billionaire Shift4 Payments, a credit card payment processing company.
He reportedly dropped out of school as a teenager and he used his grandfather’s $10,000 check to form his tech business.

"Jared believes in NASA's core mission," Sheehy told Fox. "He has the experience and skills to ensure we continue to lead the greatest boundaries of all time, and I look forward to adding NASA administrators to his already amazing resume."

"The United States has been at the forefront of space exploration for nearly 70 years," he continued. "President Trump knows how important it is to revitalize NASA, so we can lead the world to new heights again, which is why he chose the right person for the job: Jared Isaacman."
