Former senator Bill Nelson officially joins in NASA as its 14th administrator on May 3, as reported by a global space news website.
Vice President Kamala Harris gave the oath of office to Nelson in Washington, where only a handful of guests and few media people attended the swearing-in ceremony.
Nelson thanked Harris and President Joe Biden, as well as former senators in his speech, and expressed his gratitude saying, “It is indeed one of the high honors that anyone could have.”
Nelson said, “I want to thank Steve Jurczyk for his leadership as acting administrator over the past few months, helping to carry out the Biden-Harris administration’s priorities and ensure the success of NASA’s goals and missions. You’ve seen the incredible accomplishments at NASA over the past 100 or so days — the proof is in the pudding.”
Nelson is yet to share his plans for NASA.
