Vast was founded in 2021 and has since been making progress toward its ultimate goal of making space travel more accessible and affordable. The company aims to assemble a team of world-class engineers to build the first artificial gravity crewed station that allows people to easily live and work in space without being negatively affected by zero gravity.
In the meantime, there’s so much more happening in space. NASA continues to explore, with plans to set up a permanent lunar presence and extract water preserved in icy craters, as well as potentially create a fuel depo to support future missions to Mars and resource-rich asteroids.
