Part 7/12:
As NASA navigates this transitional period, Administrator Bill Nelson, who has led the Artemis program through several pivotal phases, will step down at the end of the year.

Isaacman, who has previously commanded two SpaceX missions, brings a robust connection to SpaceX’s human spaceflight initiatives. This shift in leadership could offer fresh perspectives on the Artemis program, particularly in addressing operational efficiencies and budgetary constraints.
