HELLO FUTURE: The Space Station Next Door

Kevin Cirilli sits down with Max Haot, CEO of Vast, the company racing to launch Haven-1 — which aims to be the world’s first private space station. Scheduled for liftoff in May 2026 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9, Haven-1 is designed not as a luxury hotel but as humanity’s first true commercial habitat in orbit: a compact, human-centered station with private sleeping pods, Starlink internet, and a science lab for groundbreaking research. A conversation about innovation, ambition, and what it means to design a future that can actually sustain life off-world.
