Neat. I guess it makes sense that they'd want to get some experience on the ISS before running their own station.

Also, it looks like the launch of Haven-1 has slipped from August 2025 to "late 2025". I hope it isn't delayed too much further.

The curse of end-of-year NET dates is certainly worrying. Still, I have a feeling Vast is moving pretty fast at least relative to the other space station companies. No source, just a hunch.

I hope you're right!
