Yesssss @astro_anil you made it!
Day 1 in orbit and I’m overwhelmed by gratitude, love, and beauty for this Earth we share. Hello from the international space station!

It was a pleasure hosting you, looking forward to season 6. 🚀
Not your average screening room. Vast Space Station hosted an exclusive screening in their mission control room followed by a Q&A with #ForAllMankind Executive Producers Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi.

This is unreal footage.
POV: You’re coming home after a journey around the Moon. 🌕 Before reentering Earth’s atmosphere at the end of Artemis II, the Orion spacecraft’s crew module — carrying the astronauts — separated from the service module that provided propulsion and power throughout the mission.

Thank you @IWC for the opportunity to partner on this human spaceflight-rated masterpiece.
At Watches and Wonders Geneva, @IWC unveiled the Pilot's Venturer Vertical Drive, a tool watch developed with Vast. It passed rigorous vibration, pressure, and materials testing at our Long Beach HQ, making it officially qualified for human spaceflight. vastspace.com/updates/iwc-sc…

It’s…large.
Introducing the Large Docking Adapter. The future of space is larger space stations, vehicles, and payloads. Designed to support greater overall mass while standardizing module compatibility, the adapter is currently in development at Vast HQ and available for order. vastspace.com/updates/vast-u…

Spudnik-1, an orbiting potato on @Space_Station! I flew potatoes on Expedition 72 for my space garden, an activity I did in my off-duty time. This is an early purple potato, complete with spot of hook Velcro to anchor it in my improvised grow light terrarium. Potatoes are one of the most efficient plants based on edible nutrition to total plant mass (including roots). Recognized by Andy Weir in his book/movie "The Martian," potatoes will have a place in future exploration of space. So I thought it good to get started now!

Now is the time to meet @NASA's call to transition its low-Earth orbit presence from the International Space Station (ISS) to a lower-cost commercial option. Vast is ready to deliver for America and our international partners. We will be delivering the world's first, most affordable, commercial space station in 2026: Haven-1. Haven-1 will be Vast's first step toward a long-term commercial presence in orbit. Purpose-built for scientific research, in-space manufacturing, and human habitation, Haven-1 will ensure humanity’s presence in low-Earth orbit. Backed by a world-class team and built with speed, safety, and efficiency at its core, this marks the next era in human space exploration—not just reaching orbit, but staying there. Learn more about how we are making it happen.

The era of commercial space stations begins with Haven-1, launching next year. Whether you're a sovereign nation, space agency, scientist, company, or private astronaut—the time is now. Join our mission and help pioneer the next giant leap in space exploration.

What holds many people back from taking initiative is not laziness. It's fear. Inaction breeds rumination and feeds anxiety. Action builds momentum and fuels confidence. Some ideas won't work. Some people will say no. But in the long run, it's better to fail than to fail to try.
