Summary
Houston hosted Trump’s call with American astronauts aboard the International Space Station, where the crew said they were in the middle of several spacewalks with another planned next week.
Johnson Space Center served as the backdrop for Trump to praise the astronauts as “pioneers” and invite them to the White House for Oval Office time after their return.
The visit also produced an executive order creating the U.S. Space Force Academy, which Trump said would stand alongside West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy and other service schools.
