  "account": "President Donald Trump signed an executive order on August 28 to establish a U.S. Space Academy, a new institution similar to West Point and other top military service academies. The academy, named the U.S. Space Academy, will train service members, engineers and civilian operators as the U.S. Space Force and commercial space industry expand. Trump emphasized the importance of U.S. leadership in space, stating, \"A nation cannot be first on Earth if we're going to be second in space.\" He also announced that NASA is developing the first nuclear-powered interplanetary spacecraft, which is expected to launch on a mission to Mars in 2028. This spacecraft could be the first in a larger fleet aimed at making space travel more routine.",
