What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Texas is actively seeking to host the proposed U.S. Space Academy, which is intended to be the Space Force’s equivalent of the Naval Academy. The state is assembling a pitch, and the Texas Space Commission is considering a $100 million pledge to support the bid. Texas argues that its aerospace industry and military installations provide infrastructure few competitors can match. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman confirmed that Texas is one of several states competing for the location.
