One of them is Vast Space and they want to build their own independent station to go in low-earth orbit and it's going to focus on modular and scalable designs.

I'm sure most of you have heard of Axiom Space.

They plan to attach their modular station to the ISS initially and

And then over time, it'll detach and function as a standalone station.

So it might pull some of the modules with it.

And then they'll slowly get rid of them as they bring up their own new modules.

There's a coalition led by Blue Origin, Sierra Space, Boeing, and Redwire.

And they're developing something called an orbital reef.

This is a commercial station marketed as a mixed-use business park in space.

I think that one is really interesting.

And then the last one is Voyager Space.

They're partnering with Airbus, Northrop Grumman, and Hilton Hotels, which is – it might sound odd, but yeah, they're in the game.

That might be the case.
