TL;DR Summary

SpaceX's Starship rocket has been chosen to launch the Starlab private space station, which is targeted to begin operations in the late 2020s. The four-person commercial station is expected to be up and running before 2030, providing a new outpost for astronauts after the International Space Station ceases operations. Starlab is being developed by Voyager Space and Airbus, and will be sent into orbit in a single flight by the massive Starship rocket, which is part of SpaceX's next-generation transportation system.
