Trump Snubbed Jared Isaacman as NASA Chief, but the Private Astronaut Isn't Done With Space Yet
Although Jared Isaacman is out of the running for the position of NASA administrator, the space enthusiast is still very much interested in staying in the game. In a recent appearance, Isaacman revealed he would still like to pursue launching robotic missions to space. This weekend, Isaacman received the National Space Society's Wernher von Braun Award for the privately funded Polaris Dawn mission that he led in September 2024. After his speech, Isaacman spoke of plans he would have executed as NASA administrator, as well as some that the private astronaut is still interested in pursuing outside of the agency, SpaceNews reported. This comes less than a month after President Donald Trump withdrew his nomination of Isaacman to lead NASA in a surprising switch-up that left members of the space community disappointed. In comments to the press, Isaacman mentioned that one of the goals he had for NASA was to partner with academic organizations on science missions. 'My priorities would have been leadership in space and the orbital economy and trying to introduce a concept where NASA could help enable others to conduct interesting scientific missions, getting academic organizations to contribute,' he said. 'I wouldn't mind maybe trying to put that to a test and see if you could fund an interesting robotic mission, just to show that it can be done, and try and get some of the top tier academic institutions who want to perform,' Isaacman added. 'So that's on my mind.' Isaacman previously funded the private missions he was a part of. In 2021, he purchased all four seats on board SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft for the Inspiration4 mission. Under the Polaris Dawn program, Isaacman contracted with SpaceX to fund a series of missions, the first of which launched on September 10, 2024 and pulled off the first commercial spacewalk in history. Rather than focusing on human-led private missions, Isaacman is now looking to launch space exploration missions out of pocket. This comes at a time when NASA is facing severe budget cuts that threaten several science missions and put the agency's ability to pursue space exploration at risk. The current administration's so-called skinny budget proposes a $6 billion cut to the agency, 24% less than NASA's current $24.8 billion budget for 2025. As part of the proposal, the agency's astrophysics budget will drop to less than half a billion dollars from $1.5 billion. Its planetary science budget would drop from $2.7 billion to $1.9 billion, while its Earth science budget would fall to just over $1 billion from about $2.2 billion. NASA's Mars Sample Return, a bold quest to bring bits of Mars to Earth, is on the chopping block as part of the 2026 proposed budget. Other missions, such as NASA's Juno that has been exploring Jupiter since 2016, face cancellation, while planned future missions, such as DAVINCI and VERITAS, may never launch. Isaacman's nomination to lead NASA was a welcomed move by the space community as the agency struggles with pressure to return humans to the Moon and land astronauts on Mars. If he were given the helm, Isaacman would have focused on reusable hardware to launch the Artemis missions to the Moon while ditching NASA's Space Launch System (SLS), a giant, expendable rocket that has gone $6 billion over-budget, he revealed in a podcast earlier this month.

The Real-Life Miserable Marriage of Consuelo Vanderbilt That Inspired The Gilded Age
The third season of The Gilded Age is not a love story. It is, however, a story about marriage: the first episode is centered around Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga), the teen daughter of Bertha and George, who is head over heels for Billy Carlton (Matt Walker), a well-to-do young man in New York society. He and Gladys want to marry. However, her mother (Carrie Coon) refuses to approach the match. 'It's not happening,' she says in the last minutes of the episode. Why? She wants Gladys to marry the Duke of Buckingham—a British aristocrat who would elevate the family's standing from the top of New York society to the top of European society.

Photo: Karolina Wojtasik / Courtesy of HBO As is often the case in his shows, Julien Fellowes was inspired by a real-life historical event for this particular plot-line: the 'marriage of convenience' between Consuelo Vanderbilt and the Duke of Marlborough. Consuelo Vanderbilt, the daughter of William Kissam Vanderbilt and Alva Vanderbilt, was just 19 when she was forced to marry Charles Spencer Churchill, the ninth Duke of Marlborough. Forced is not an exaggeration: her memoir, The Glitter and the Gold, details the lengths her overbearing mother went to ensure the union. Consuelo hoped to marry for love: specifically, Winthrop Rutherford, a handsome American who was a member of Ward McAllister's 'The Four Hundred'—or, the notable New York families that were considered to make up the cream of New York society at the time. Yet, during a trip to Europe, it became clear to Gladys that Alva intended for her to find an aristocratic suitor within the continent's gentry. While the children of her New York peers often married well, none of them had married into titles. At first, the options were lackluster. 'That summer, I received two or three other proposals from uninteresting Englishmen, which I found slightly disillusioning. They were so evidently dictated by a desire for my dowry, a reflection that was included to dispel whatever thoughts of romance might come my way,' she wrote. But then they arrived for a weekend at Blenheim Palace, the family seat of the Marlboroughs. There, Mrs. Vanderbilt found the socially advantageous bachelor she was looking for.
