Isaacman has experience in spaceflight: he led two groundbreaking private missions to low Earth orbit, both of which utilized SpaceX equipment.

Jared Isaacman became well-known for the Polaris Dawn mission, which included the first-ever commercial spacewalk in history.

“Americans will walk on the Moon and Mars, and by doing so, we will make life here on Earth better,” promised Isaacman.
