According to Bloomberg, Vast Space, a commercial space company founded by well-known crypto industry entrepreneur Jed McCaleb, announced it will establish its European headquarters in Paris and plans to execute two crewed space missions by 2027. One will transport astronauts to the International Space Station via SpaceX, and the other will deliver the first crew to Vast's commercial space station Haven-1. Jed McCaleb previously founded the early Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox and was involved in the creation of Ripple and Stellar.
