I believe that the in orbit motel will come sooner if Bigelow has his way. He predicts space liners crusing out to the moon in the comming decade and lunar colonies won't be far behind.

Within 5 years of the Lindbergh flight to Paris the DC-1, DC-3 and the Boeing Flying Boats were plying the air routes blazed by Lindbergh. He charted London to Sydney for BOAC, Minneaplis to Tokyo for Northwest Airlines and Dallas to Mexico city for Braniff!

Burt is the "Right Stuff"!

It's a lot bigger job getting to orbit. I wonder if any of the ideas Burt used in winning the X-prize will be useful in attaining and returning from orbit. Aside from the piggyback ride to launch I mean.
