Billionaire-backed startup to launch first commercial space station with SpaceX.

Crypto tycoon Jed McCaleb, CEO of Vast, is teaming up with Elon Musk's SpaceX to launch the first-ever commercial space station, Haven-1, in 2025. The bus-sized orbital outpost will be home to a four-member crew in 2026, which could include astronauts and private individuals. Vast will also conduct the world's first spinning artificial gravity experiment on a commercial space station. The inaugural 30-day mission will be in 2026, but the cost per seat has not been revealed. Space tourism will soon be a part of our lives as billionaires spend their money to send the average person into orbit.

Vast and SpaceX team up to launch first commercial space station.

Vast, a California-based startup founded by billionaire Jed McCaleb, plans to launch the first commercial space station in low Earth orbit with SpaceX as its launch partner. The company's first module, Haven-1, will be launched on a Falcon 9 rocket in August 2025, with a four-person crew to spend up to 30 days in orbit. Vast aims to build a 328-foot-long multi-module space station that will spin to produce artificial gravity. The company is seeking to beat competitors like Axiom Space to become the first to send a space station to low Earth orbit.
