The astronaut training tourists to fly in the world’s first commercial space station

Former NASA astronaut Drew Feustel is now leading the astronaut training program for Vast, a private space company planning to launch the Haven-1 commercial space station in May 2026. The station aims to host tourists and provide research facilities, with Feustel overseeing training for customers. Vast plans to follow up with a larger station, Haven-2, in 2028. Feustel discussed the training program, including preparation for emergencies and daily tasks in space, as well as the company's efforts to create access to space for a broader range of people.
