age: 3-6

mission:

• to create and fuel an interest in scientific education and training in young children and prepare them for science school
• to guarantee a basic understanding for scientific methods

age: 6-19

mission:

• to gain proficiency with scientific methods
• to become familiar with basics in STEAM subjects
• to provide necessary knowledge to enable graduates to continue with scientific university

age: 8-18

mission:

• to create and fuel an interest in scientific education and training in kids and teenagers
• to guarantee a basic understanding for scientific methods
• to prepare teenagers for a possible assessment prior to entering the SpaceXplorationAcademy

thoughts:

• currently 193 recognized nations on earth if 100 nations are willing to send one child per year per age group on state sponsored training
• if each course will run for 14 days per group assuming 13-15 children per group there could be 7 rotating groups per course/age group pa.
• This results in two parallel groups per course pa. and a total of 20 groups each day for 365 days, or a total of 1000 children and 70 courses pa.
• states would have to guarantee sending girls and boys alternating pa.
• participating states would send one child per age group pa., or 10 children in total pa.
• participating states could select children via school contests, application assessments or various other processes
• applicants should be sponsored for transportation and costs covering their entire stay with SXA
• training should be delivered by scientifically trained facilitators and include former astronauts
• each group could be supervised by 2 coaches, requiring 40 coaches per day delivering training
• adding STBY, vacation and training updating ec. the number of required trainers for the youth program could be estimated to be somewhere in the 30-40 range

age: 19+

mission:

• to gain proficiency in space related science and engineering fields
• to attain a university grade training
• to provide necessary knowledge to enable graduates to continue with SXA space pilot programs
• to supply SpaceX with graduates to populate internal research programs

age: 19+

mission:

• to train spacers for SpaceX and other spacefaring entities (Blue Origin, national space programs)
• to build a spacer corps capable of fulfilling various different mission profiles with vehicle related specialties
• to set up an integrated training center usable by the various space program entities to train in habitat mock ups or with different vehicle set ups and simulators
• to aggregate all different types of trainings in one location to reduce logistical complexity and long term cost saving
• to fullfill crew needs for SpaceX’s anticipated fleet strength of 1000 Starships by 2050, and assuming operational status of half of the fleet at the same time and a conservative setup of 2 crew members per ship per flight as well as two STBY crew members
• further estimating a training time of three years at a minimum per space pilot we look at a minimum of 4000 trained crew members over the next 30 years and 12000 training years
• adding to this possible trainings for other entities like Blue Origin and national space programs
• space pilot training to include
• • survival training in hostile environments (sea, desert) preferably close to training facility location
  • fitness/sports
  • centrifuge
  • basic scientific training
  • basic flight training
  • vehicle specialist training (space ship handling, vehicle engineering and repair training)
  • extra-terrestrial vehicle operations (chariots, rovers, gliders, helicopters ec.)
  • extra-terrestrial meteorology and space weather
  • space law
  • space station procedures
  • emergency procedures
  • long term mission psychology
  • leadership and communication methods
