  "account": "CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman made a striking entrance to the agency's MAX POWER air show on Saturday (Nov. 7), skydiving in front of 10,000 spectators. MAX POWER combined aeronautics and aerospace elements in a unique public air show, marking the first of its kind for the space agency. The show featured astronauts, fighter jet displays, and new technology. Confident in his decision to put on a memorable event, Isaacman said, \"Going into this job, I knew we had to do something like this.\" He and other skydivers, including Montana Senator Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) and former U.S. Air Force Thunderbird pilot Shawn Gustoson, jumped out of a plane, parachuting down one by one. After landing, Isaacman greeted the crowd on the main stage. As the skydivers floated down, the number of tiny parachutes grew as they approached the ground. Isaacman, a pilot and private astronaut, logged over 8,000 flight hours and has performed two private orbital space missions. He is currently serving as NASA Administrator and is planning a larger event called CAPEWEEK in 2028, promising an even bigger display of air and space innovation and spectacle.",
