SpaceX and VAST aim to be pioneers in commercial space activities as a result of this collaboration.
VAST, a bitcoin millionaire, and SpaceX are teaming up to launch the world’s first commercial space station. The station, which will have a capacity of 12 persons, will be launched in 2024.
Aside from space tourism, the station will also be used for research and manufacturing. This is a long-standing project of SpaceX, which aspires to be a leader in commercial space activities. “There is huge potential for space tourism, and we are excited to make it happen,” VAST co-founder Jed McCaleb said. Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, stated on his Twitter account, “We are creating a future where people can live in space.”
Anyone interested in space tourism can take advantage of the station. It will also have high-speed internet connection, high-definition imaging, and other technical advances. SpaceX and VAST hope to be pioneers in commercial space activities as a result of this collaboration.
The commercial space station proposal has piqued the interest of key space industry firms. This project, led by SpaceX, has the potential to inspire other companies and enhance commercial activity in space.
