Blogger Michael Molovinsky reports today that Jared Isaacman, who has been appointed and confirmed to lead NASA, is a NorCo resident. Although Wikipedia places him in nearby Washington Tp (NJ), he and his wife have owned a nice home in Lower Nazareth since 2015. Like so many others, he probably moved here to be close to me.
Like many Trump appointees, he's filthy rich. But unlike them, He occasionally contributed to Democrats. Unlike them, he has even pledged half his fortune to philanthropic causes like St. Jude's.
His Project Athena, while controversial in NASA itself, looks promising. I also agree with his view that a "mini Manhattan project" is needed to research and develop nuclear-electric propulsion. If developed, this could be a boon to our private economy as well.

Trump has two democrats in his cabinet.
Being a member of the National Space Society Chapter Committee and a Chapter Coordinator for NE and SE Region Chapters I am happy to report this statement from the NSS Board of Directors in regard to Jared Isaacman's confirmation as Administrator of NASA
The National Space Society extended its congratulations to Jared Isaacman for the Senate’s vote that confirmed him as the new NASA Administrator. He will replace acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy, who has filled the role since replacing Janet Petro in July 2024.
Dale Skran, NSS COO said, “NSS welcomes the confirmation of Jared Isaacman as NASA Administrator. As the first private astronaut to lead NASA, Isaacman brings a wealth of business and space experience to NASA. We look forward to working with him as NASA Administrator to advance the human future in space.”
Isaacman’s credentials in spaceflight are unique. Rather than a traditional aerospace background, he is a self-made billionaire by founding the payment processing firm Shift4 and then built the world’s largest private fleet of airplanes for training military pilots. He then conceived and executed a private spaceflight mission, Inspiration4, which benefited St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and flew with SpaceX. He followed this with his Polaris Dawn flight, which reached the highest Earth orbit ever, and featured the first private spacewalk by Isaacman.
“Jared Isaacman will make a great NASA Administrator,” said Karlton Johnson, NSS CEO. “He’s the right person at the right time and embraces an agenda that aligns broadly with NSS goals.”
The Senate voted 67-30 to confirm the entrepreneur. This vote closes this loop, confirming Isaacman as the new NASA Administrator.
And the Twelve Apostles has Judas Iscariot.
Doubtful either one of you is aware of all donations made by Trump and his cabinet members. But, complete and accurate reporting is in short supply these days, especially from lowly bloggers. Some local jerk once said "Shoot first and aim later." Cute, huh?
They don’t really live there the most activity you see is the robot dog and the gardeners. Can’t say they’re bad neighbors though
Bernie O’Hare to all: I decline to publish comments with directions to his home. I have no desire to dox anyone.
And we have you as idiot of the month.
Saw him speak at Lehigh this past fall and was impressed with his presentation . Very nice family man as well.
Trump boy can donate all he wants! Money will never, ever clear him of all his sins! You also don’t actually believe these corrupt folks are philanthropists do you? If they are it’s solely for tax purposes.
