Bigelow has already sent up three inflatable hotel modules !
Yeah, but did NASA drag some muzzys in to the launch so they can pretend that they’re doing something worth a chit in America’s space program?
Ping!
we went from NASA contracting firms to build things and NASA owning them to NASA paying firms to build things and leasing use of those things. hardly a good business model. Our R&D expense paid for technology any country can use.
I remember after BJ Clinton gabve China missile technology because “we had an unfair advantage”, our next few launches failed.
Be sure to flip ‘em the bird when you’re over Beijing guys.
There’s no decision-maker I respect in technology today more than Musk. Yes, he relies on government support for his companies, but no one dreams bigger or tries to do more. He’s the one guy who is really making a difference these days in the Valley.
Can I fly to the space hotel on a Pan Am Clipper?
Im so excited and a little nervous. This is amazing!!!
The ChiComs have already stolen this technology already and are already building these rockets
NASA needs a boogeyman like China to justify its future budgets.
but Musk will be the one to ferry tourists up and back and make barrels of money doing it!
Then build bigger, better + cheaper Up and backs and destinations.
You can also watch at SpaceX.com
Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
Will they have the Pan Am logo on the craft?
CNN headline: Trump rocket, built by man holding California hostage, threatens Florida with air and noise pollution.
