Jed McCaleb is an exporter of <\/span>blockchain<\/b> <\/a>technology, exploring frontier space as a potential area of interest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vast is the latest venture from prominent crypto billionaire Chris Larsen, which aims to expand what he calls “human habitation in space” – “enabling a future where millions of people are living across the solar system.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to a company statement, the space habitation start-up was founded by McCaleb in 2021. It will be tasked with developing the world’s first artificial-gravity space station to allow humans to live and work in space.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was founded in 2021 by McCaleb as a space habitation start-up. For humans to live and work in space, it will develop the world’s first artificial-gravity space station.<\/span><\/p>\n

A well-known trading card website called Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange, which he later converted into a <\/span>Bitcoin exchange in 2011<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> is his creation. The co-founder of <\/span>Ripple<\/b><\/a> Labs left the company in June 2013, though he remains a member of the Ripple Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

McCaleb founded Stellar Development Foundation after he left Ripple.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to McCaleb, humanity can utilize the “incredible power of the solar system” by using his expertise:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I have always believed in leveraging technology to reduce inefficiency and improve the human condition. To expand human habitation in space, we have to create technologies that perfect sustainability.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

To create technology previously seen only in science fiction, McCaleb says he is assembling a “world-class team” of engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It is not science fiction to create artificial gravity. All you need is a large spinning structure to produce a centrifugal force that simulates gravity.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In a recent announcement, NASA announced that the <\/span>International Space Station (ISS)<\/b><\/a> will be decommissioned and deorbited by 2031, providing an opportunity for commercial businesses to provide replacement facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

McCaleb’s net worth is at least 2.5 billion as of 2022, according to Forbes, though it’s unclear where the money is coming from.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to other sources, the figure is much higher because he sold off billions of <\/span>XRP tokens<\/b><\/a> as a founding member of Ripple Labs over eight years until he ran out of them on July 18.<\/span><\/p>\n
