Here's what we know about the "space academy" Trump just announced

The academy idea remains in its formative stages but is likely to include curricula that covers human and non-human spaceflight operations, ground control operations, space vehicle design, orbital debris mitigation, and related disciplines. The goal is to create a new generation of technical leaders who can support ongoing exploration efforts, both in commercial spaceflight and in ensuring that the US government maintains a global lead in doing hard things in space. This would be an entirely new academy, perhaps similar in design to the US Merchant Marine Academy, which is based in Kings Point, New York. Students would apply after high school for admittance and be taught by leaders in both civil space and commercial space. Students would earn a four-year degree. No location has been chosen
