Episode Details

NASA just handed Axiom Space a $222 million contract to build the first modules for the lunar gateway — a moon-orbiting space station that could become humanity’s pit stop for deep-space missions. These modules might even link up with the ISS, paving the way for astronauts to shuttle between Earth orbit and the Moon. With Axiom already experienced in commercial spaceflight and private astronaut missions, this deal is a major endorsement of their vision — and a key step toward building a sustainable lunar economy, eventually setting the stage for Mars. The first modules are expected by 2028, marking a pivotal shift toward public-private collaboration in space exploration.
