SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2023 / NRP Stone, Inc. (OTC PINK:NRPI)

Uplift Aerospace (OTC PINK:NRPI), a leader in commercial astronaut training, announces the worldwide launch of Starborn Academy in collaboration with Australia-based company Fizzics Education. Starborn Academy is a nine-week virtual reality astronaut training program for students aged 13 to 18. Combining Uplift Aerospace's immersive VR technology with Fizzics Education's network across over 300 schools in Sydney and Melbourne, the program aims to fuel interest in space exploration and enhance student STEM skills in Australia.

Following a successful demonstration of the Starborn Academy on December 6th, 2023 at the Young Space Explorers Conference in New South Wales, a state which serves over 1 million students, students ranked the Starborn Academy demo at 4.2 out of 5 stars. This initiative builds on Uplift Aerospace's experience in both virtual and in-person astronaut training, including the preparation of their first commercial astronaut, who will be flying to space on an upcoming Blue Origin New Shepard mission. Under a Memorandum of Understanding, Uplift Aerospace and Fizzics Education will extend the Starborn Academy Program throughout Australia, combining engaging virtual training with hands-on outreach and logistics supported by Fizzics Education.
