The White House says President Trump signed an executive order creating a Presidential Commission to begin designing a new federal academy meant to train future American space leaders.

The release frames this as advancing 'American space superiority,' asserting that such superiority depends on the 'strength, skill, and character' of unnamed future Americans, and credits the President with 'consistent leadership' in space achievement.

No timeline, budget, location, or curriculum is mentioned — only a commission tasked with beginning the process of eventually figuring those things out.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

There is a particular genius to announcing an institution whose entire present-day existence is a committee tasked with imagining it later. Strip away the superlatives and what remains is a press release about the strength and character of people who do not yet exist, which is the only demographic guaranteed never to file a complaint. When the deliverable is a fact sheet about a commission about an academy, the fact sheet is the academy.
