US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish the US Space Academy.

“It's clear that we will need to educate and train an entire generation of skilled service members, engineers, and civil operators, and everything else, to do what we have to do and what we're right now doing best, and we'll continue, and I think by leaps and bounds. And that's why, in a few moments, I will sign an executive order to begin the process of creating a new national academy. It's called the U.S. Space Academy. That's a big deal,” he said at the ceremony of awarding American astronauts at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas and signed a relevant document.
