Future Space
The International Space Station is currently scheduled to come to an end in 2030, but, before then we’re hoping that there will be other space stations for humans to visit, from small single module stations like Vast’s Haven-1 to the massively ambitious modular Orbital reef. These will move space stations from being government projects to the private sector, ideally in the same way that rocket launches became a commercial operation. The US has 4 leading candidates with Europe, Canada and Japan already making deals, so, humanity’s presence in low Earth orbit should continue uninterupted going forwards.
