This Week In Space podcast: Episode 127 —Space Stations Inc.

On Episode 127 of This Week In Space , Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik talk with Max Haot of VAST about his company's first space station.

We all know the ISS is living its last days and will be deorbited sometime around 2030... but what's coming up next? Max Haot of VAST joins us to discuss his company's first space station, called Haven-1, set to launch in 2025.

For a company just just a few years old, VAST has made impressive progress toward what is likely to be the first private crewed space station in history. Subsequent plans include a larger orbital habitat with artificial gravity and much more.

It's an exciting time in Space 2.0, and companies like VAST are leading the way! Join us for this fascinating hour.
