Space Hotel coming soon:
"A Las Vegas hotel tycoon is
seeking permission from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) to build a private space station,
something he contends can be done in the next three
years.
Robert Bigelow, who made his fortune as owner of
Budget Suites of America, said he anticipates that his
Bigelow Aerospace division will be able to launch a
full-size space station module into orbit within 30 months." Yeah, O.K., I know this isn't going to happen in the next 30 months if the feds have anything to say about it, but I can dream. Wonder what it would cost? (here's the predictable /. thread)
