Elon Musk JUST ANNOUNCED SpaceX’s New Space Station That SHOCKED The Entire Space Industry!
Elon Musk is up to some really big stuff, aiming high this time! SpaceX is getting ready to launch the world’s first commercial space station in 2025, and it’s going to be epic!!
They’re already in the works and we’re super excited. A Long Beach-based startup, VAST Space, has teamed up with SpaceX to make it happen, and they plan to have a crew on board almost right away. What’s so special about this space station, and will it be the next gen space station?
The International Space Station (ISS) has been NASA’s home in space for over 20 years, where many important scientific discoveries have been made. However, NASA plans to bring the aging ISS back to Earth in 2031. Instead of building a new one, NASA intends to rent space on private company-owned space stations. But there’s a challenge – so far, only government agencies have launched space stations.
Which is why recently NASA has made agreements with private companies to build commercial space stations. However, some quick decisions in choosing partners led to wasted money, like the $130 million contract for the Orbital Reef space station given to Blue Origin and Sierra Space, which might fail because they don’t want to work together. But there’s hope! Did you know that A new player in the commercial space station market, VAST, is teaming up with SpaceX? They plan to launch the world’s first privately owned outpost, starting with Haven-1. VAST wants to use a SpaceX rocket to send this commercial space station into orbit, imagining a future where people can travel to and from it.
