傑德·麥卡萊布（Jed McCaleb）以共同創立的Gox和Ripple共同聞名，計劃於2026年在追求NASA合同的同時將Vast的商業空間站“ Haven-1”推出到Orbit。

Jed McCaleb, the entrepreneur known for co-founding Mt. Gox and Ripple, is planning to launch Vast’s commercial space station, “Haven-1,” into orbit by May 2026.

傑德·麥卡萊布（Jed McCaleb）是企業家，以共同創立的Gox和Ripple而聞名，他正計劃在2026年5月之前將Vast的商業空間站“ Haven-1”推出軌道。

McCaleb’s startup is also aiming to secure a contract from NASA for the ISS replacement, with the space agency set to allocate the contracts in mid-2026.

麥卡萊布（McCaleb）的創業公司還旨在確保NASA的ISS替換合同，並設定在2026年中期分配合同。

If Vast fails to obtain the NASA contract, it could leave the commercial future of McCaleb’s space station venture in jeopardy.

如果廣大未能獲得NASA合同，它可能會留下麥卡萊佈在危險中的空間站風險投資的商業未來。

“There are not that many folks who are willing to dedicate the amount of resources and time and risk tolerance that I am,” McCaleb told Bloomberg.

麥卡萊布對彭博社說：“沒有多少人願意奉獻我的資源，時間和風險承受能力。”

Describing McCaleb’s mindset, longtime friend and ex-business partner Sam Yagan calls him a “deliberate risk-taker” with an exceptionally rational way of thinking, adding:

描述麥卡萊布的心態，長期的朋友和前企業夥伴薩姆·雅根（Sam Yagan

“He’s maybe slightly eccentric in his willingness to take what you and I would see as a lot of risks.”

“他願意接受您和我認為有很多風險的東西可能有些古怪。”

McCaleb’s plans for interplanetary human expansion closely align with the long-term vision of SpaceX founder Elon Musk.

麥卡萊（McCaleb）的行星際人類擴張計劃與SpaceX創始人Elon Musk的長期視野緊密一致。

“It’s super important that people take this leap from where we are today to this potential world where there’s a lot of people living off of the Earth,” said McCaleb, who founded Vast in 2021.

麥卡萊布（McCaleb）說：“人們將這一飛躍從我們今天所處的位置轉向這個潛在的世界，那裡有很多人居住在地球之外。”

Vast is equipping its station with SpaceX-built parts, including a docking adapter for the Dragon capsule and a Starlink-based WiFi system for internet access in space.

VAST為其電台提供了SpaceX構建的零件，包括用於龍膠囊的對接適配器以及用於太空中Internet訪問的基於Starlink的WiFi系統。

To deploy its station and personnel, McCaleb’s firm has contracted SpaceX for launches, while NASA must authorize astronaut transport.

為了部署其車站和人員，麥卡萊佈公司已將SpaceX簽約以進行發布，而NASA必須授權宇航員運輸。

Vast’s deep connections with SpaceX are evident in its hiring of key ex-SpaceX personnel, among them Max Haot, who currently serves as CEO and president.

Vast與SpaceX的深厚聯繫在僱用主要Spacex人員的僱用中很明顯，其中包括目前擔任首席執行官兼總裁的Max Haot。

To secure a key NASA contract, Vast must compete with major contenders such as Axiom Space, Voyager Space Holdings, Lockheed Martin, and Jeff Bezos’ company, Blue Origin.

為了確保NASA關鍵合同，GAST必須與Axiom Space，Voyager Space Holdings，Lockheed Martin和Jeff Bezos的公司Blue Origin等主要競爭者競爭。

Since prolonged space travel has caused organ damage in ISS crew members, Vast intends to develop artificial gravity by spinning or accelerating its spacecraft to simulate Earth’s environment.

由於長時間的太空旅行已導致ISS機組人員的器官損壞，因此大量打算通過旋轉或加速其航天器來模擬地球環境來發展人造重力。

The ISS uses a system that processes wastewater for drinking and reuses carbon dioxide to generate oxygen.

ISS使用一種處理廢水的系統來飲用並重用二氧化碳生成氧氣。

Due to its short-term nature, Haven-1 lacks this feature, but Vast plans to introduce it in Haven-2 by 2028 to accommodate longer crew stays.

由於其短期性質，Haven-1缺乏此功能，但在2028年到2028年將其引入Haven-2，以容納較長的船員。

Additionally, Haot and McCaleb are prepared to experience space travel personally.

此外，Haot和McCaleb準備親自體驗太空旅行。

McCaleb has entered the space sector through an unexpected route. McCaleb’s journey began with eDonkey in the 2000s, but in 2010, he achieved his next major accomplishment by founding Mt. Gox.

麥卡萊布通過一條意外的路線進入了太空行業。麥卡萊布（McCaleb）的旅程始於2000年代的埃登基（Edonkey），但在2010年，他通過創立Gox山取得了下一個重大成就。

He didn’t remain at Mt. Gox for long, as he relinquished most of his ownership in 2011.

由於他在2011年放棄了大部分所有權，因此他沒有長期留在Gox山。

Mt. Gox became the top Bitcoin exchange worldwide, but in 2014, a massive $400 million theft forced it to shut down and declare bankruptcy.

Gox山已成為全球頂級的比特幣交易所，但在2014年，巨額盜竊案迫使其關閉並宣布破產。

Within months, McCaleb shifted his focus to a fresh project and introduced the XRP crypto token on the Ripple protocol in 2012.

幾個月之內，麥卡萊布將重點轉移到了一個新的項目上，並在2012年在Ripple協議上引入了XRP加密令牌。

McCaleb held 9% of XRP tokens at the beginning but sold most of them after exiting Ripple in 2013 due to disputes with other founders.

麥卡萊布一開始就持有9％的XRP令牌，但由於與其他創始人的爭議，2013年退出Ripple後，大部分都出售了其中的大部分。

Between 2014 and 2022, McCaleb liquidated his XRP and Ripple equity, reportedly amassing a multi-billion-dollar fortune. According to CoinGecko, McCaleb’s 2014 creation, the Stellar network—a Ripple protocol fork—features the Stellar token, which now boasts an $8.7 billion market capitalization.

在2014年至2022年之間，麥卡萊（McCaleb）清算了他的XRP和Ripple股票，據報導積累了數十億美元的財富。根據麥卡萊布（McCaleb）2014年創建的Coingecko的說法，Stellar Network（一個漣漪協議叉）賦予了Stellar代幣，現在擁有87億美元的市值。
