Trump's @NASA nominee @rookisaacman walks the line between heeding plans by Musk-to-Mars and Congress-to-Moon at his Capitol Hill nomination hearing today @wsj https://t.co/9uCypB9xA9

Markey presses @rookisaacman on whether @elonmuskat was in the room when Trump offered him the job of @NASA administrator. Isaacman refuses to answer. @WSJ

NASA nominee @rookisaacman supports Artemis as the best way to get to the Moon (for now): "This is the plan we have now, and we've got to get this crew around the moon and the follow on crew to land on the moon." @WSJ @WSJscience

Sparks between NJ Sen. Kim and @rookisaacman over whether NASA can send missions to both Mars and the Moon on its current budget: "I sure hope so" sez nominee at his confirmation hearing. @WSJ @WSJscience

Isaacman says @NASA can do both Moon and Mars: "We don't have to make a binary decision of Moon versus Mars, or Moon has to come first versus Mars, I think we could be paralleling these efforts." @wsj

Cantwell questions rumored abandonment of the Artemis Moon mission: "I want to win the race. I want to make sure that China doesn't beat us to Mars, and I hope that even with this recent announcements of theirs that we beat them to the moon." @nasa @wsj

Ted Cruz sez @NASA must maintain a presence on the Moon at today's hearing to confirm Jared Isaacman: "We must stay the course. An extreme shift in priorities at this stage would almost certainly mean a red moon ceding ground to China for generations to come." @WSJ
