Knowing Jared Isaacman, he won't let MSR die without a fight. It wouldn't shock me to see NASA consider Rocket Lab's MSR proposal; they had submitted a pretty affordable proposal some time ago.
Isaacman definitely likes scientific missions but was skeptical of MSR, he thinks we will have a manned mission to Mars by the late 2030s so the payoff was not there given the extremely long timeline and high costs.
And I mean I agree, for that much money we should be doing missions to Europa instead.
Yes the administration warned American space companies not to attend the international space summit in France last week because it was international cooperation. NASA attended.
