"Stadium-Sized Inflatable Habitats: The Future of Moon and Mars Settlement"

Max Space, a startup, is developing inflatable space habitats to facilitate human expansion into space, with plans to launch a 20-cubic-meter module in 2026 and larger modules in the following years. These expandable habitats are designed to be cost-effective and scalable, aiming to provide living space for various purposes, from pharmaceutical production in microgravity to potential settlements on the moon and Mars. The company's goal is to enable off-Earth settlement and extend humanity's footprint into the solar system.
