This Company Wants to Build a #Space Station That Has #ArtificialGravity
Founded by crypto bro and programmer #JedMcCaleb, #VastSpace will run two missions to #ISS and aims to launch its first #spacestation, #Haven1, by the end of 2025.
The missions, still without official launch dates, will fall within #NASA’s private #astronaut program, through which the space agency wants to promote the development of a space economy in low Earth orbit.

@robertbmarks I think Sternbach and Okuda figured out a rationalisation for #artificialgravity for the purposes of #startrek published in their Next Generation Technical Manual back in the actual 1990's. Whether the Andersons' team thought of something similar, I don't know.

As for the life support limits...I have come to believe that it came down to budgets and politics of Alpha's financial backers. Sure, they could grow their own food. Money decided the staffing levels anyway.

πŸͺ§ Long-term goal: a station with artificial gravity to study lunar/Martian gravity's viability for human life.

πŸͺ§ Vast faces stiff competition from Blue Origin and Axiom but seeks to lead NASA's commercial space program.

πŸͺ§ Vast Space plans to launch Haven-1, its first private space station, by 2025, partnering with SpaceX.

πŸͺ§ Haven-2, set for 2028, aims to replace the ISS, offering modular upgrades and NASA certification. 🧡
