THE NEW SPACE RACE: ‘It’s going to be beautiful’: President Trump signs order to create US Space Academy.

President Donald Trump today (Aug. 28) signed an executive order creating the U.S. Space Academy, an institution of higher learning that will train students for a career studying, exploring, exploiting or helping to protect the final frontier.

“It’ll serve both the United States Space Force as well as NASA and the civilian spaceflight industry, and it’ll attract, train and graduate the very very best of our nation,” Trump said today during a ceremony at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, at which he awarded the Artemis II moon astronauts the nation’s highest space honor.

Within the next 120 days, the commission will submit a report “with recommendations on governance framework, service obligations for graduates, physical location of the academy, legislative requirements and more,” NASA officials wrote in today’s statement.

It’s a shame the name Starfleet Academy is sullied.
