Lawmakers will hold a long-awaited hearing for President Donald Trump’s nomination to run NASA on April 9, paving the way for billionaire fintech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman to take the helm of the space agency.

Isaacman made his fortune by creating Shift 4, a fintech firm that processes payments for a range of restaurants, hotels, casinos, and most notably, billionaire Elon Musk’s satellite Internet provider Starlink.
