Entrepreneurs, who have won a great deal of fortune in the crypto world, often turn to luxury investments. However, Jed McCaleb, one of the founding partners of Ripple, has a different vision. McCaleb aims to establish a permanent life in space with Vast Space. For this reason, ready to spend a personal deck of $ 1 billion. They have plans in XRP…

A new journey in space with Ripple

The Vast Space, founded by McCaleb in 2021, emerges as an alternative to the plan of disabling the International Space Station (ISS) in 2030. The aim of the company is to build a new generation space station that will make people live in space for a long time.

McCaleb explains the importance of this vision to Bloomberg with the following words:

We need to build a bridge from today to the future. There are very few people who really believe in the idea of ​​building life outside the world, and I am willing to take this risk.

The first module developed by Vast Space is designed to provide HAEN-1, artificial gravity. This system is based on the logic of the station turning by turning and creating a centrifugal force, and aims to offer astronauts a more comfortable living space.

The first launch date of haven-1 was May 2026. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets will be used to move the space station to orbit. McCaleb’s target is great: When the first station succeeds, a modular system called haven-2 will be commissioned. A wider and more sustainable space station will be built to combine multiple HAEN-2 modules.

Private companies shape the space race

In recent years, public institutions such as NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have started to rely on the developing space technologies of the private sector. In this area, billionaires such as McCaleb, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson compete to take space journey to the next level.

McCaleb’s space station project will compete with giant companies such as Axiom Space, Blue Origin, Voyager Space and Airbus. All these initiatives aim to develop new solutions for research, production, tourism and long -term life.

 

If Vast Space’s first launch in May 2026 is successful, the company will have a strong position in the private space race. However, an agreement with NASA will be critical for long -term success.

Chris Larsen, another founding partner of Ripple, says full support to McCaleb’s project:

America used to focus on such great goals. Now we stumble with bureaucracy and skepticism. I sincerely wish that Vast will succeed.

Is there a plan for XRP Coin?

McCaleb did not make any explanation about the XRP Coin in a statement to Bloomberg. We have seen a similar cooperation in this area in partnership with Hedera Hashgraph and SpaceX. This cooperation aims to transform satellite technology and non -central systems in orbit by carrying HELARA to the forefront of technological innovation.

As we have quoted as Kriptokoin.com, in 2023, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, similar to McCaleb’s vision, went to the ocean campaign to hunt aliens and UFOs.
