U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Aug. 29 to begin the process of creating an "American Space Academy," according to BlockBeats, citing Jin10. Trump said the proposed institution would serve the U.S. Space Force, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the civilian space industry at the same time. He said the academy would be modeled on military schools such as West Point and the U.S. Naval Academy, with the goal of attracting, training, and graduating what he described as America’s best talent. Trump added that the site for the academy will be announced later. He also suggested that Texas Senator Ted Cruz has lobbied for the school to be located in Texas. Trump tied the move to his broader space agenda, pointing to the creation of the Space Force during his first term and a planned Mars mission in 2028 that, he said, would deploy a nuclear-powered interstellar spacecraft.
