NASA’s Bold Plan to Stay in Space After the ISS

WooGlobe

NASA is planning a 30-day mission to a commercial space station — but don’t be fooled, this isn’t a shift to short-term space travel. It’s a crucial demo to test systems and ensure a smooth transition from the ISS to the next generation of orbiting labs. With companies like Voyager, Blue Origin, and Vast racing to build the future of low Earth orbit, NASA is working hard to avoid a dangerous gap — and keep the U.S. ahead in space.

00:00NASA just dropped a surprise about future space missions.

00:03But it's not what you think.

00:04For the first time, NASA is planning a 30-day mission to a commercial space station.

00:09And that made people think they were switching to short-term space travel permanently.

00:13But hold on, NASA says.

00:15Not so fast, this 30-day mission.

00:17It's just a demo.

00:19The goal is to test out systems and do some science.

00:22It's not the new normal.

00:23NASA still wants long-term missions like the six-month stays on the ISS.

00:28They just don't want a gap between the ISS retiring and the new stations going live.

00:33That's why they're moving fast.

00:35Funding companies like Voyager, Blue Origin, and Vast.

00:38And they've made it clear.

00:40They don't want China to be the only game in low Earth orbit.

00:43So what's next?

00:44A race to build the next-gen space stations with launch targets around 2029.

00:48And NASA's pushing hard to keep America in orbit, without missing a beat.

00:53The future of space isn't shorter. It's just getting started.
