Vast and SpaceX to Launch First Private Space Station in 2025.
Aerospace startup Vast plans to launch the world's first commercial space station, Haven-1, atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in 2025 at the earliest. The company, founded by cryptocurrency billionaire Jed McCaleb, aims to eventually launch and operate 2001-A-Space-Odyssey-style spinning space stations holding hundreds of people by the 2040s. Vast has started selling tickets for its first crewed mission and wants its customers to come from domestic or international space agencies or wealthy individuals involved in science and philanthropy. Visitors will stay for up to 30 days and receive training to execute emergency procedures inside SpaceX's rocket, the Haven capsule, and be provided with a spacesuit and rations for the trip.
