Bigelow Aerospace is the name that I immediately think of when I think of private space stations. Ingenious design really.

The fact that I think of them means they do a fine job of marketing as well.

The could launch the shuttles and leave them up there, the bays could become home to all sorts of oxygen and water tanks for longer-term stays.

Of course they are for sale to museums and stuff for $28.8m
