杰德·麦卡莱布（Jed McCaleb）以共同创立的Gox和Ripple共同闻名，计划于2026年在追求NASA合同的同时将Vast的商业空间站“ 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.

杰德·麦卡莱布（Jed McCaleb）是企业家，以共同创立的Gox和Ripple而闻名，他正计划在2026年5月之前将Vast的商业空间站“ Haven-1”推出轨道。

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.

麦卡莱布（McCaleb）的创业公司还旨在确保NASA的ISS替换合同，并设定在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.

如果广大未能获得NASA合同，它可能会留下麦卡莱布在危险中的空间站风险投资的商业未来。

“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.

麦卡莱布对彭博社说：“没有多少人愿意奉献我的资源，时间和风险承受能力。”

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:

描述麦卡莱布的心态，长期的朋友和前企业伙伴萨姆·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.”

“他愿意接受您和我认为有很多风险的东西可能有些古怪。”

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

麦卡莱（McCaleb）的行星际人类扩张计划与SpaceX创始人Elon Musk的长期视野紧密一致。

“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.

麦卡莱布（McCaleb）说：“人们将这一飞跃从我们今天所处的位置转向这个潜在的世界，那里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为其电台提供了SpaceX构建的零件，包括用于龙胶囊的对接适配器以及用于太空中Internet访问的基于Starlink的WiFi系统。

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

为了部署其车站和人员，麦卡莱布公司已将SpaceX签约以进行发布，而NASA必须授权宇航员运输。

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与SpaceX的深厚联系在雇用主要Spacex人员的雇用中很明显，其中包括目前担任首席执行官兼总裁的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.

为了确保NASA关键合同，GAST必须与Axiom Space，Voyager Space Holdings，Lockheed Martin和Jeff Bezos的公司Blue Origin等主要竞争者竞争。

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.

由于长时间的太空旅行已导致ISS机组人员的器官损坏，因此大量打算通过旋转或加速其航天器来模拟地球环境来发展人造重力。

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

ISS使用一种处理废水的系统来饮用并重用二氧化碳生成氧气。

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.

由于其短期性质，Haven-1缺乏此功能，但在2028年到2028年将其引入Haven-2，以容纳较长的船员。

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

此外，Haot和McCaleb准备亲自体验太空旅行。

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.

麦卡莱布通过一条意外的路线进入了太空行业。麦卡莱布（McCaleb）的旅程始于2000年代的埃登基（Edonkey），但在2010年，他通过创立Gox山取得了下一个重大成就。

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

由于他在2011年放弃了大部分所有权，因此他没有长期留在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山已成为全球顶级的比特币交易所，但在2014年，巨额盗窃案迫使其关闭并宣布破产。

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

几个月之内，麦卡莱布将重点转移到了一个新的项目上，并在2012年在Ripple协议上引入了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.

麦卡莱布一开始就持有9％的XRP令牌，但由于与其他创始人的争议，2013年退出Ripple后，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年之间，麦卡莱（McCaleb）清算了他的XRP和Ripple股票，据报道积累了数十亿美元的财富。根据麦卡莱布（McCaleb）2014年创建的Coingecko的说法，Stellar Network（一个涟漪协议叉）赋予了Stellar代币，现在拥有87亿美元的市值。
