00:00The special feature lies in the fact that it is designed as the first purely commercial space
00:05station which operates independently and can later be seamlessly integrated. SpaceX is not
00:12only responsible for transporting the modules, but also for the crew and cargo logistics,
00:16which underscores the partnership. The focus is on tourism, meaning private space flights
00:23for adventurers, as well as on research in fields like biotechnology and material sciences,
00:28where weightlessness enables unique experiments. Just think for example about the development of
00:35pacemakers. Current updates make this even more exciting. In November 2025, FAST reached a milestone,
00:44by completing the structural tests of the station and launching a Pathfinder mission,
00:49which serves as a technology demonstrator and is already successfully in orbit. The launch date
00:55has shifted slightly to the second quarter of 2026, which is typical for such pioneering projects,
01:02projects, but the progress is impressive and promises a new era of private spaceflight.
