Space Race 2.0: Billionaires Battle for Private Space Stations

2025-01-05

With the International Space Station nearing retirement, a new space race is underway: the construction of private space stations. Companies like Axiom Space, Vast, and Blue Origin are pouring billions into building orbital hubs, and even future cities. Vast, backed by crypto billionaire Jed McCaleb, aims to launch its first privately-run station, Haven-1, as early as 2025, ultimately envisioning artificial gravity. While the economic viability of a commercial space economy is debated, lower launch costs and NASA funding fuel this new era of space exploration.
