In a committee inquiry in the Senate on Wednesday, Isaacman said the goal is to get American astronauts to set foot on Mars.
We will prioritize sending American astronauts to Mars, and along the way, we clearly have the opportunity to return to the moon to determine the need for scientific, economic, and national security policy benefits with a presence on the moon's surface.
The tech billionaire and CEO of the space company Space X, Elon Musk, is believed to have a significant influence on the Trump administration's political decisions.
Isaacman, who is himself a dollar billionaire, is close to Musk and has personally flown twice with Space X rockets as a private space traveler.
During Trump's first presidential term, the idea of a trip to the moon was launched with the Artemis project, which no longer appears to be current.
