NRP Stone Inc (OTC:NRPI) Stock Continues to Trend Higher

In light of the developments from yesterday, it could be a good time to take a closer look into NRP Stone Inc. (OTC:NRPI). The company runs its businesses through Uplift Aerospace Inc., its fully owned subsidiary unit. Uplift is involved in providing solutions for space missions, and that includes astronaut training, both in person and in virtual reality (VR).

Other solutions include mission design, access to both suborbital and orbital flights, and efforts to make space exploration more democratic. Yesterday, Uplift was in the news after the commercial astronaut training firm announced the global launch of Starborn Academy. The launch had been possible through a collaboration that the company had with Fizzics Education, a company based out of Australia.

The Starborn Academy would provide a virtual reality astronaut training program for students aged 13 to 18 years old. The program would last for a period of nine weeks. In the above-mentioned collaboration, the immersive VR technology from Uplift Aerospace would be combined with the school network of Fizzics Education.

Fizzics boasts a network of more than 300 schools spread across Melbourne and Sydney. It was noted that the aim of the program was to create more interest in space exploration and boost the STEM-related skills of students in Australia.

On December 6, there was a demonstration of Starborn Academy at the Young Space Explorers Conference in New South Wales, and the students rated the demo with 4.2 out of a maximum of 5 stars. It should be noted in this context that New South Wales is a state that serves more than 1 million students, and hence the choice of state was crucial. As per the provisions of a Memorandum of Understanding, the two entities involved in the collaboration would expand Starborn Academy across Australia.
