Space News: Vast Space Begins Testing Haven-1, Stoke Space Funding & RFA Receives Launch Licence
In this week’s space news we cover Vast, the commercial space station startup, preparing to start testing their Haven-1 structure. This will be the first commercial space station to launch, financed entirely by the company itself.
Our second story covers a big new investment in Stoke Space, the US launch provider working on a 100% fully reusable launcher.
And finally, we cover Rocket Factory Augsburg receiving a launch licence from the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority as they work to be the first commercial European company to fly from the UK.

    I feel like you've intentionally avoided mentioning the problems encountered during the IM1 mission, such as someone forgetting to enable the landing laser range finder before launch, and the repurposing of a payload's instrument to enable the landing attempt to happen at all (then it fell over, didn't it?). I hope that doesn't sound flippant, but i can't understand why you wouldn't mention any of the less-than-perfect aspects of their first mission.

    The Idea of having a "spinning stick" artificial gravity station doesn't seem to be well thought out. By spinning the station, the artificial gravity will be only felt at the ends of the modules, with increasing gravity as you move out towards the ends of the station. Wouldn't they not be making much of the station unusable? (Like working at the bottom of a long tube.) While I agree that artificial gravity may be a complete game changer, I think it will likely need a different design.

    the "flex rover", to me, looks like a really useful form-factor for right here on earth. if you were to build a multi-terrain, multi-use farm tool like this, i very well might want one. the ability to hand-load and haul via the adjustable height deck, traverse tough and varied terrain, turn on a dime, drive standing up, sitting down, walk-beside or remotely operate from a desk indoors, etc.. it looks like it would have many uses for automated garden maintenance, as well as things like building fences on super rough terrain, or moving injured or sick animals out of a field.. and a huge variety of other automated as well as human-centric tasks. could be an evolution of the UTV / side-by-side. very cool concept even without the moon part.

    I don't have confidence this company will succeed. They only launched the Terran 1 once, and it was a failure. They then cancelled all future launches of that rocket and switched focus to Terran R. They should have built more Terran 1 and got it working and built a customer base and a source of revenue. Terran R is also coming on line a bit late. Rocket Lab and Stoke Space are both launching medium lift vehicles in 2025. Firefly is trying to launch a MLV in 2026 as well. Relativity will be entering a market later then these companies and they are not yet proven they can successfully launch. If I was a big investor, I would put my money in to their competitors before I would consider investing in them.
