Very cool. And Scott Manley has made an excellent video that shows (using an Axiom animation, I assume) how the company will add modules to the station and then eventually they could detach and become a self-powered independent station!

It'll be interesting to see just how accessible NASA makes ISS to these types of missions. I have a hard time imaging any privately funded trips to ISS going with anybody other than SpaceX for their transportation (assuming Boeing / ULA get certified at some point).

Could be a brand new source of recurring missions and income for SpaceX
