SpaceX's New Gravity Space Station is Finally Launching Much Sooner Than NASA Expected...
Next-Gen Space Station
In just a few months, a brand-new space station module will leave Earth on a SpaceX Falcon 9 — and when it does, it won't just be another payload reaching orbit.
It will be the beginning of the most ambitious space station ever built. Much bigger than the aging ISS. More advanced than China’s Tiangong. And the first in history designed to give astronauts something no station has ever offered — gravity.
That station is Haven. And Vast Space is closer to the finish line than most people realize.

Vast Space Vision
This is the story of Jed McCaleb.
You might know him as the co-founder of a cryptocurrency exchange. But like Elon Musk, he had an unconventional vision: instead of waiting for government funding, he decided to bet almost everything he had on a single dream — building the space station that could one day replace the ISS.
So far, that gamble seems to be paying off. Vast is led by CEO Max Haot — and neither of the company's two top leaders came from traditional aerospace engineering. Yet in less than five years, they've grown the team from around 200 people to more than 1,000, and built exactly what NASA needs right now.
But they weren't trying to build another aging, government-style space station.
Their goal was far more ambitious.
They wanted to build a five-star hotel in orbit.
Yes, it sounds a little crazy.

What makes Vast truly different isn't just the vision — it's how they execute it. They build almost everything in-house. They design their own hatches. They roll and weld their own aluminum structures. They integrate their own thermal control systems. Even the Control Moment Gyroscopes — the devices that keep the station precisely oriented in space — are developed internally.
As the company likes to put it: "We build them in 6 months. Competitors are buying at 55 million euro. Our internal cost is less than 5 million. Who do you view as your main competitor? Time."
That's it. Just time — because for a company that didn't exist five years ago, the clock is the only thing standing between them and the rest of the industry.
