Trump Creates a Space Academy and Honors the Artemis Astronauts

President Donald Trump awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to the Artemis II crew, consisting of Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, at the Johnson Space Center. The crew previously completed a lunar mission in April, marking the first human presence in lunar territory since the 1970s. Additionally, Trump signed an executive order establishing a U.S. Space Academy to train astronauts, engineers, and technicians for NASA, the Space Force, and the commercial space industry.
