Axiom: The Successor To The International Space Station

This is the successor to the International Space Station.

With U.S. Congress wanting to de-orbit the ISS by the end of 2030, the Axiom Station is currently in line to replace it.

It's described as “the world’s first commercial space station”.

Texas-based Axiom has a $140 million contract with NASA to attach at least one module to the ISS.

Further sections will be added, until the time they separate and become an independent entity.

The project has attracted serious names, with rumours of Tom Cruise being one of the first visitors.

Visionary creator Philippe Starck has designed Axiom crew accommodations.

The company explain: “We are hosting private missions to the ISS, starting in 2021, and building the first commercial space station in our solar system starting in 2024."

U.S Election Results: BIG BLOW To Harris, Trump Takes Georgia| Second Battleground Victory for Trump

In a significant development in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, former President Donald Trump has dealt a major blow to Vice President Kamala Harris by capturing Georgia, marking his second major battleground state victory after North Carolina. Trump’s win in Georgia reinforces his momentum, putting him closer to the pivotal 270 electoral votes necessary to reclaim the White House. With the race tightening, Trump’s stronghold across Republican-leaning states like Florida and Texas has given him a substantial lead, while key swing states including Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania remain in contention. Harris has claimed traditionally Democratic states such as California and New York, but Trump’s surge in battleground states has created a challenging scenario for her campaign. #TrumpVsHarris #KamalaHarris #USElectionResult #ElectionResults2024 #HarrisVsTrump #DonaldTrump #TrumpVsHarrisPolls #KamalaHarrisVsTrump #DonaldTrumpVsKamalaHarris #Trump #TrumpVsHarrisDebate #TrumpHarris #KamalaHarrisVsTrumpDebate #Harris #TrumpHarrisDebate #TrumpVsHarrisUSElections
