SpaceX and Vast Team Up to Create First Private Space Station | Flipboard

SpaceX, the aerospace manufacturer and space transportation services company, is teaming up with Vast, a startup that specializes in space habitat designs, to create the first-ever private space station. This groundbreaking initiative is aimed at offering commercial opportunities for scientific research, manufacturing, and space tourism. According to reports, the space station, named ‘Praxis,’ will accommodate up to four people and will be assembled in low-Earth orbit using SpaceX’s Falcon rockets and Dragon spacecraft. Praxis will reportedly serve as an alternative to the International Space Station (ISS) and will offer a more long-term, cost-effective alternative for companies who want to conduct research in space. Additionally, the space station’s modular design would allow it to be easily expanded or reconfigured, depending on the needs of the occupants. This collaboration is expected to pave the way for future private space projects, and may even help to accelerate the democratization of space exploration. Overall, this is an exciting development for space enthusiasts and those interested in the commercialization of space, as it shows that there is a growing interest in private space exploration and a shift towards more accessible and affordable space travel.
