Whoever made this video needs a raise, it is absolutely incredible! So excited to see where Vast goes

[@TheAntarcticanLeader]

Fr the editing and music was awesome, hope to see more vids like this

[@RamblingRodeo]

Really? I am not that impressed by this video, it doesn't show a lot of progress and they have 20 months to get Haven 1 ready? Also first commercial station in orbit, so are they claiming they will are going to beat Axiom into orbit first module?

[@zander_the_space_nerd]

Can't wait for this to fly!

[@SebastianWellsTL]

I'm looking forward in great anticipation to what 2024 brings for you guys! Wishing everyone at VAST a very Merry Christmas!

[@nathancommissariat3518]

Missed this completely! A promising and exciting future for Vast!
Great 2023, cannot wait to see what's in store for 2024!

Super video and a great vision for the future of space exploration. I hope the partnership between Vast and SpaceX, or their collaboration at least, gets ahead for the benefit of the private space industry.

[@MrBinkles2]

Ill be watching this fly in 2025

[@matthewakian2]

Wow. This is really happening.

[@RamblingRodeo]

I love the concept and direction of what they want to do, but can you be more transparent about where you are in everything, this is a great video but in all honesty it doesn't do much to show what you are doing and you want to be what in orbit in 20 months? It looks like you just started. I think it is a great concept, including using dragon for the first module, while using starship for the second this is how it should be done, id like to see more progress this is the one i am very excited about and please don't take my criticism as being bad.

[@tartnpie3695]

Nice vid; query: any thoughts on connecting two modules nose -to-nose?

JED MCALEB become my 2nd hero now, behind Elon Musk

Was hating him, but now i love him because of doing this vast

[@ihateandreykrasnokutsky]

I didn't know that CNC mills are widely used in space industry! I work on one (though the mill on the video has better state and cooling system).

[@66ebutu]

Yeah, they are used (the CNCs) everyday extensively throughout the space industry and most other manufacturing industries of course.

[@tommyweiss3886]

I’m impressed… no really … you guys have made progress and your not afraid to show off what you’ve done! I mean I’m poor but if I were rich I’d invest, so good job!
