SpaceX deploying new Space Station from Vast next year!! No Starship required!

Can you please please pleeeeeeeeease add a miniature of yourself doing a silly ridiculous dance in the corner while the music is playing after the beginning monologue

I think central segment should be a cross section, enabling doubling capacity in the future.

Miracle Musk is the Only space news today , Stumpy ! ... Let's hear some Ranting and Raving !! ... Magnificent Musk and SpaceX , will own the Rocket and Space Station Industry as of Today ... $5 Billion , gets you your own personalized 5 Story Weightless Walkup , with a Full Tank of Gas ... in the Orbit of your choice ! ....... Three Cheers to Elon !! hip Hip HIP HURRAY !. 😀

Starship has no purpose. Except, to be Musk's toy.

I think they missed a trick. Surely, if the central module had 4 entry points instead of simply 2 (at the ends), the station could be expanded as a cross-formation. This would offer twice the volume of usable space. This would also be beneficial to the structural integrity.

Those renders of that space station looks great... but where are all the sick stains on those lovely carpeted surfaces?

space will become the ultimate corporate nitemare a la neuromancer. litterally all resources needed to even keep breathing and stay alive will be controlled by moneygrubbing oligarchy. I cant wait ... 😂

oh and "artificial gravity" without coriolis induced vomit geysers everywhere requires around 2 rpm at approx 250 m/s radial velocity which translates to a station diameter of around 500 meters ...

Good luck to them, when they first announced their intentions I thought they were the least likely to actually put something in space, knowing the other companies and supposedly serious figures involved with them. I've long been interested in artificial gravity stations, it seems like the one idea from the early days of spaceflight that we've never really tried. I also want to see Blue Origin and Sierra do well. Seems like aerospace news this past decade has turned into the SpaceX show, and while I'm happy for them, they've blown open the doors showing what's possible, there needs to be some real competition to get companies to push each other along

Vast is moving vastly faster than Blue Origin and I have to support that!!

Believe it when I see it.

Micro-g also makes viruses more aggressive.

A line station will have several gravity levels... Is this really what they want to do?

Will the rotating stick station be vulnerable to lateral instability?

Length limited unless higher centrifugal gravity wanted at ends. Could 2 sticks be linked together while spinning?

Vast just recently released a video showcasing The Haven-"2" ... please do a video about that or at the very least respond to this comment with a simple one sentence opinion

They should put it on the Moon..

A linear structure such as VAST seems like a logistical nightmare. A kind of central hub with a series of spokes and concentric rings would be much superior. It could be built up gradually.

Silly question but why haven't they expanded the iss and then just dumped sections one at a time till they have a new one?

They messing around with stuff not meant for humans, the world already ruined by evil men, what is their purpose, it's expensive stuff, this is too complicated to carry on and on, the attention you should get is, Jesus is coming soon, so all the wisdom of man stopped, and God will change the world to his original design

How much fuel would this require to maintain its artificial gravity?

This is good news. We must get past our tincan rocket designs. These go for launch & landing only, but not for longer transfer trips in space. With designated spaceships, there are no launch restrictions and they never need to land, they only need to dock to a real spacestation, to resupply and let the crew out for some days.

This talk about next-gen orbital platforms is ridiculous, when looking at the design. ISS is no next-gen design and all NASA funded stations are like ISS. How are they supposed to be commercialy successfull? Airbus is making the only viable beginning. SierraSpace would look good, but they have SueOrigin hanging around their neck.

A spacestation needs much storage space for survival of crews, but also for cargo and for fuel. Orbital gas station. Then there needs be space for living quarters for not only its own crew, but for crew of docking ships. That includes recreation areas, the more the better. Up to now, all space is better suited with gravity. Building 90° from the rotation center, to keep micro gravity, there shall be fabrication centers. Research facilities may be added later, but first this new business must get started.

Later, when we start asteroid mining, we will need space docks, shipyards in orbit and also on the Moon. We better think about life before space industry gets that big. In the USA we could see quite well, why we do not want a society being run like a business. We do not want to leave everyone behind, who does not benefit the shareholders. Too old to work? - There's the airlock.
🚀🏴‍☠️🎸

we need a space industry, without this we will get no where.

I still think that inflatable segments are one of the better idea.

Great topic and update. Thanks

Got this idea in my head of making starship unlatch its nose-cone AND blow up a huge habitat after where cone curvature ends.
basically you'd get a HUGE ship that still can contain its crew within steel, so if the inflatable habitat fails- most of the crew is safe.
.. if you wonder further what I'm talking about, just picture one of those inflatable DIL*** ... XD
i believe this is the way to seed other planets..
some planets are hard to please.

I would say starship will make it cheaper to launch and maintain.

You are a Elon hater unfollowing annoying ass Chanel fake news

From the video and their website there seems to be a lot of CGI and not much actual work done so far. So saying it 'could' launch in 2025 seems a bit like saying that an elephant 'could' fly (if someone wanted to spend a few million strapping one to a dirigible after training it to use a trunk-controlled steering system). The 'team' photos (all with crossed arms or hands on hips to show just how serious they are) and the ad to employ 25 'engineering graduates' this year makes it seem even more like fantasy project. The only positive seems to be that the founder Jed McCaleb apparently has a $3B NW and is allegedly 'fully funding' the project up to the launch of the Haven-1 mission. But unless he is willing to actually spend a few billions of his own money (rather than just a few million) and wait a decade (rather than a year) for Haven-1 to actually reach orbit in a 'useable' state (eg. not just a mockup launched into orbit for publicity) I don't think this will eventuate 'as advertised'. We'll see. At least it seems a lot more realistic and plausible than Elon's mars colony fantasy.
I'm just hoping to live long enough to see an Artemis lunar landing and maybe the first Chinese manned lunar landing... Having watched Apollo 11 live on TV, and hearing all the 'predictions' about missions to Mars, fusion power stations 'within a decade' etc. etc. I take my dose of futurism with some health scepticism these days.

If they can move to a semi-expanding or fully expanding station where the rigidity of the structure is just provided by pressure and collapsible ribs these stations could nearly double that internal volume comfortably as well as reducing their dry mass.
That might not be feasible for their current manufacturing equipment in this moment but I'd want to be thinking five years ahead to when Starships will probably be flying at least semi-regularly like the early days of Falcon and ten years into the future when, if Starship pans out at all, they'll probably be flying weekly or even more often and LEO industry starts demanding larger populations of people than a few dozen here or there.

Really ?? Or is just symulation ??

Having different levels of gravity may lead to discovering patterns that minimize the effects. Like for every day in micro spend 3 in the highest.

how do you dock with a rotating station?

I can think of two major problems with spinning stations that no one seems to talk about. 1 - How do you keep it balanced? If you have 10 people on board and 8 are at one end with 2 at the other, the station is out of balance. You need to have people move up and down column equally on each side of center. 2 - How do you stabilize the spin rate? When people move either in or out from the center they will affect the spin rate. Move in toward the center and the spin rate goes up. Move out toward the ends and the spin rate goes down. Any ideas on how to solve these issues without burning a lot fuel?

Don’t think a replacement space Station will happen any time soon, (unless the private sector step in to fund and assemble it themselves) China, Russia and India have moved away politically from giving NASA any cooperation for the foreseeable future, & don’t think there is an appetite from US taxpayers to fund NASA to the tune of billions of Dollars every year, especially after the Boeing Starliner fiasco, when Spacex provided with less funding has achieved vastly more success than NASA has done in the last 50 years for space flight.

As an enthusiasts I would be more interested in Elon Musk sending empty (or not so empty ) Starships to either the moon or to Mars, to prove the concept of flight, landing, and testing conditions along the way with perhaps online observation via the internet, to keep us entertained on the six month journey, Elon must sent along one or two of his new Robots to Mars, because if humans never make it to the red planet at least a likeness of us will have !

Spinning the space station will only produce vomitting all over the space station. It’s not a good gravity replacement

You are no "creator," nobody can "create."
Beginning NEVER requires the suffix "s."

Comfort is not a noun, this means you do not infuse the suffix "s" to it as means to downgrade it into a fakse "plural noun."
Thete is no such thing "creature comforts."

Haven-1 is extremely exciting because of how realistic it is! It is super feasible near-term, and can help accelerate the growth of a LEO economy

The center part of the micro grav station will most likely vibrate to much to be useful due to the rotation and solar panels going in and out of solar pressure 🤔

Can you not use diversity stock footage please

Nice to see! Hopefully they won't take any government money or contracts!

seems these guys have a VASTly different approach?

Deploying an inflatable space station next year? Really, Crazy Cosmonaut?

Where is the VAST test program?
What VAST scaled inflatable modules have undergone VAST testing?
Why haven't VAST released VAST footage and VAST data on these obviously successful VAST tests?
When will Crazy take his VAST subscribers on a VAST guided tour of the VAST Inflatable Module Testing Facility at...where? Any VAST date?
How can this VAST prospect of a VAST Inflatable Space Station, to be launched into LEO by SpaceX (gasp!) be true? This VAST undertaking?
With a VAST reliance on the confident assertions of Elon Musk, a VAST business partner, and self-confessed Black MAGA, is this a VAST dream?

Unlike Sierra Space and Blue Origin: they test-prove their designs, present their results and get contracts; NASA loves them and so does US Congress.
The first Sierra Space inflatable module is not VAST; but at least NASA is QUITE confident when Sierra Space PUMP it up...they KEEP it up!

Keep PUMPIN' it, Crazy Cosmonaut!

End of flight starships should be used to build a massive station.

If it doesn’t have faux gravity then it’s just the same as the ISS and other plans. Human physiology needs gravity for and time spent in space. End of! And if you need zero g manufacturing you can build it alongside the human facilities.
