当地时间12月26日，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）新任局长贾里德·艾萨克曼（Jared Isaacman）最新表示，美国将在总统特朗普第二个任期内（即三年内）重返月球。艾萨克曼在接受采访时表示，特朗普重新承诺推进月球探索，是开启“轨道经济”的关键。上周，美国参议院以67票赞成、30票反对的投票结果确认了艾萨克曼的任命，这也是艾萨克曼上任后首次发表公开讲话。

在经历撤回提名与重新提名的波折一年后，“80后”亿万富翁、曾两度参与私人航天任务的宇航员Jared Isaacman，近日终于获美国参议院批准，正式出任美国宇航局（NASA）局长。据《科学》报道，许多支持者希望，他的上任能为这一年来几度濒临失控的NASA稳住局面。
