-‘Americans kickstarted the resurrection’: Now Italians are snapping up $1 homes for themselves [[https://kra27-28.cc/|kraken сайт]]
+Trump’s unconventional NASA pick signals Mars intentions in confirmation hearing [[https://kra30att.cc/|кракен ссылка]]
-Of the many depopulated Italian towns to launch bargain home schemes in recent years, none have been more successful than Sicily’s Sambuca di Sicilia.
+President Donald Trump’s pick to run NASA, Jared Isaacman, made waves Wednesday by signaling his intention to create a new focus on Mars exploration.
-Sambuca’s home sell-offs have seen huge demand, with American buyers rushing to snap up discounted houses in the hillside town for a symbolic €1 in 2019 and €2 in 2021.
+A confirmation hearing for Isaacman — the billionaire CEO of payments platform company Shift4 who has twice paid to fly aboard SpaceX capsules — kicked off before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation at 10 a.m. ET. The committee is not expected to vote on Isaacman’s confirmation until after lawmakers reconvene from a two-week break that ends April 28.
-Previously largely unknown, even to some Italians, Sambuca has since welcomed so many Americans that it’s been nicknamed “Italy’s Little America.”
+During the hearing, Isaacman faced wide-ranging questions about how NASA’s priorities might change under his leadership.
-But according to the town’s mayor Giuseppe Cacioppo, this US buyer trend has changed or, at the very least, slowed down. Now it’s Italians who are snapping up the town’s abandoned homes.
+For months, the space agency and its commercial and international partners have faced uncertainty about how the Trump administration may seek to realign NASA’s missions to focus on Mars, rather than the moon.
-“Something weird happened with this third batch of auctioned homes; we thought more Americans would apply, so we were amazed that for the first time ever it was mainly Italians from all over Italy,” Cacioppo tells CNN.
-Sambuca has placed dozens of dwellings on the market over the years in a bid to revive the community, which has suffered from depopulation as residents move to bigger cities.
+If such a shift plays out, it could lead to changes for NASA’s Artemis program, which was announced during Trump’s first term and marked a renewed focus on lunar exploration. The Artemis I mission, for example, sent a crew-worthy spacecraft on a test flight around the moon in 2022. Artemis ultimately aims to return astronauts to the lunar surface and eventually create a permanent human settlement on the moon.
-In both past editions, the number of requests, mostly from the US, to purchase neglected homes was so high that local authorities had to place the old abandoned properties at auction.
+Notably, however, Mars has long been the destination of choice touted by Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX who over the past year has become a close confidant of Trump and invested at least $260 million in his presidential campaign.
-While some bidders opted to snap up abandoned ruins, over a hundred Americans purchased ready-to-occupy homes from locals, revitalizing the area’s dwindling real estate market.
+Currently, NASA does not have any concrete plans to send humans to the red planet, though the agency has routinely said it views lunar exploration as an important precursor to Mars missions.
+However, Isaacman told the committee he will “prioritize sending American astronauts to Mars.”
+“Along the way, we will inevitably have the capabilities to return to the Moon and determine the scientific, economic, and national security benefits of maintaining a presence on the lunar surface,” according to Isaacman’s prepared opening statement.
