The First Private Room in Space: Launched by 2027?
This prediction asks if a **privately funded commercial habitation module** (like Axiom Space's AxH1) will be launched and attached to the ISS before the end of 2027.
Axiom's Timeline
The majority **'Yes'** vote aligns with Axiom Space's official schedule, which targets a late 2026 launch for its first module. As the primary commercial partner for NASA's LEO transition plan, Axiom has strong funding and technical support. While space delays are common, the 2027 deadline provides a one-year buffer on their current target, making success probable.
