The New Space Station Economy Is Already Here
from Space Business with Fexingo: Launch Companies, Satellites, and Commercial Spaceflight · host Fexingo
For years the space industry has talked about commercial space stations as a future possibility. But Lucas and Luna dig into the numbers that show it's already happening now — from Axiom Space's plan to attach the first commercial module to the ISS in 2026 to Vast's fully private station launching on a SpaceX Starship. They break down the unit economics of a low-earth-orbit habitat: how much a berth costs, who the anchor tenants are likely to be, and why this time it's different from the 1990s hype. With NASA's transition from operator to anchor tenant reshaping the entire market, the hosts ask whether the business model pencils out or whether we're about to see another bubble in space real estate. #SpaceBusiness #AxiomSpace #Vast #NASA #SpaceX #Starship #CommercialSpaceStation #LowEarthOrbit #HabitatEconomics #SpaceEconomy #SpaceRealEstate #PrivateSpace #ISS #SpaceStation #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Business #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
