👨‍🚀 🇺🇸 🚀 Bernie Moreno on X: Proud to announce a statewide effort to land the United States Space Academy in Dayton, Ohio.
This is where aviation began. Where two bicycle mechanics left the ground at Huffman Prairie and changed the world. Where Ohioans like Neil Armstrong and John Glenn taught America to look up. Where more than two dozen astronauts have called home. Where America’s first astronauts — the Mercury Seven — were put through their final testing in 1959. To this day, America’s astronauts come to Wright Patt AFB for training at the 711th Human Performance Wing, home of the School of Aerospace Medicine and the military’s only human-rated centrifuge.
Today, Ohio unites to make our case to bring President Trump’s vision for the Space Academy to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and Wright State — the only site with the people, the mission, and the history to secure his legacy.
Thank you to Matt Huffman, Rob McColley, Sen Jon Husted, Jim Jordan, Rep Mike Turner, and Gov Mike DeWine for uniting to make this happen. No politics. Just Ohio. Just America.
From Huffman Prairie to the stars.
