President Trump appointed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as NASA's interim administrator. This follows the withdrawal of Jared Isaacman's nomination due to "prior associations." Duffy, known for his work on transportation infrastructure, will temporarily lead the space agency. The appointment is unusual, as NASA administrators are typically scientists or engineers. Trump's decision comes after a reported falling out with Elon Musk, a close friend of Isaacman.
