Summary
Texas is all-in to land the new U.S. Space Academy, with Governor Greg Abbott assembling a powerhouse team led by State Rep. Greg Bonnen to make a winning case. Backed by NASA’s Johnson Space Center, top universities, and a booming private space sector, Texas is positioning itself as the birthplace of American human spaceflight. The state’s leadership—featuring former astronauts, university heads, and space experts—is crafting a statewide blueprint that highlights military bases, research institutions, and an aerospace workforce unmatched in the nation. With the federal government still deciding, Texas is racing to prove it’s the best fit—and it’s throwing everything it’s got at the table.
