Biden reportedly will nominate former Florida Sen. Bill Nelson (D) to run NASA.
Nelson, 78, served for Three Terms as Florida's Senator before he was Unseated by then-Gov. Rick Scott (R) in 2018.
In 1986, he became the Second Member of Congress to embark on Space Travel as a "Payload Specialist" on the Space Shuttle Columbia.
In 2019, Nelson was Recognized by NASA as "the leading space program advocate in Congress" and was Instrumental in Passing a Bill that called for the Development of Commercial Spaceflights in 2010.
Biden's Nominee will Replace, Jim Bridenstine, Trump's pick to Lead the Agency, who Stepped-Down in January 2020.
Bridenstine's Appointment was Opposed by Nelson, who at the time, said: "The head of NASA ought to be a space professional, not a politician."
Bridenstine faced Controversy due to his Views on Climate Change, but was most known during his time as Administrator for Developing the Artemis Program, which aims to have the First Woman and Next Man on the Moon by 2024.
