Look at the cost of the ISS for an idea.

A zero G reverse bouncy castle. Doesn’t get better than that.

“Behind every advance of the human race is a germ of creation growing in the mind of some lone individual, an individual whose dreams waken him in the night while others contentedly sleep.”

Crawford H. Greenewalt

a bit of irony:

“Robert T. Bigelow is an American hotel and aerospace entrepreneur. He owns the hotel chain Budget Suites of America and is the founder of Bigelow Aerospace.”

Except that the ISS doesn’t DO ANYTHING.

International Space Station Combustion and Fluids: How the ISS Enables Discoveries in Microgravity

ISS Researcher's Guide Series

"The International Space Station Program Science Office has in work a 15-book Researcher’s Guide Series by discipline. The purpose of the series, which is planned for completion in 2015, is to educate potential users of the ISS platform on how their ground‐based experiments can be translated to the space environment. Each guide is designed to “start the conversation” of how new researchers can find opportunities as well as assistance in the proposal development process. All the books in the series can be found here. Completed books are available for download in .pdf format below."
