SpaceX's Insane Space Station Tube Manufacturing Made NASA's Giant Machine Obsolete!
Vast’s Haven-1 is taking a very different approach to building a commercial space station — and the key may be hiding inside its plumbing. Instead of relying on a complex network of outside contractors, Vast is bringing critical systems in-house, aiming to make space infrastructure faster, smaller, and more efficient.
In this video, we break down how Haven-1’s fluid system works and why its manufacturing strategy could offer an important contrast to the decades-long development of the International Space Station. From moving water and oxygen to handling coolant, propellant, and wastewater, the system has to solve some surprisingly difficult problems in microgravity.
We’ll explore:

· How Vast’s fluid system manages five different fluid flows
· Why microgravity makes liquid transport so difficult
· How capillary flow, centrifugal separators, and membrane degassers work
· Why common components and 3D printing can reduce size and complexity
· How vertical integration could improve manufacturing speed and testing
· What Haven-1 could demonstrate ahead of Vast’s larger Haven-2 vision
· How this approach compares with the ISS’s multi-contractor architecture
The future of commercial space stations may depend not only on bigger rockets, but on smarter ways to build the systems inside them.
