NASA moving at warp speed to set up US Space Academy

NASA has issued a request to US states to provide funding support for the establishment of the US Space Academy, as part of the President's Artemis program aimed at returning humans to the lunar surface by 2024. The US Space Academy is expected to be a training facility for astronauts and scientists, and NASA is seeking $20 million in funding to help establish the program. The request is part of a broader effort to expand the US space program and establish a sustainable presence on the lunar surface.
