Donald Trump signs order to launch creation of U.S. Space Academy

U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order at NASA's
Johnson Space Center in Houston on Friday launching the process of
establishing the country's first U.S. Space Academy.

The initiative comes amid the rapid expansion of the U.S. Space
Force and the commercial space sector, as well as growing U.S.
ambitions for lunar exploration and future missions beyond the
Moon. Trump said the developments have created a need to educate
and train a new generation of service members, engineers and
civilian space professionals.

Under the order, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman will chair a
newly established Presidential Commission on the U.S. Space
Academy.

The commission will have 120 days from the signing of the order
to submit a report to Trump. The report is expected to include
recommendations on the academy's governance structure, service
requirements for graduates, potential location, legislative needs
and other aspects of its establishment.
