California-based startup Vast plans to launch the world's first commercial space station, Haven-1, using a SpaceX rocket. The company aims to ferry passengers to and from the orbiting outpost, including professional astronauts or tourists. Vast's founder and CEO, Jed McCaleb, is investing $300 million of his own money into the effort. The company plans to leverage the life support systems already developed for SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft. Vast's ultimate goal is to create a massive orbiting space station with artificial gravity that could be launched atop a SpaceX Starship vehicle.
