"Max Space's Stadium-Sized Inflatable Habitats Set to Revolutionize Space Settlement"

Space startup Max Space plans to launch expandable, "stadium-sized" habitats into Earth's orbit on SpaceX rockets by the end of the decade, aiming to provide more habitable space in space at a lower cost. The company's scalable habitat designs range from 20 to 35,300 cubic feet and could potentially be deployed on the Moon or Mars. With a focus on inflatable habitats, Max Space aims to conduct its first off-Earth test within two years, while facing competition from other companies like Sierra Space in the race to develop expanding habitats for space exploration.
