Trump Establishes US Space Academy to Support Space Force and NASA
Donald Trump has signed an executive order to create the US Space Academy, aimed at enhancing national security and economic interests in space. This institution will serve the United States Space Force, NASA, and the civilian spaceflight industry, drawing comparisons to military academies like West Point.

An executive order has been signed by Donald Trump to establish the US Space Academy, intended to support the United States Space Force and NASA. The academy will focus on attracting and training top talent, similar to existing military institutions.
The specific location for the academy has yet to be determined, with Texas Senator Ted Cruz advocating for a site in his state. The order was signed during a visit to the Johnson Space Center in Houston, where Trump honored the Artemis II crew.
Additionally, Trump referenced a planned Mars mission for 2028, utilizing a nuclear-powered interplanetary spacecraft. The creation of this academy underscores the growing importance of space as a domain for economic and security considerations.
