Bigelow's big move

Posted: Wednesday, May 31, 2006 8:59 PM by Alan Boyle

In the past, Bigelow Aerospace has been relatively hush-hush about its plans to test an inflatable space module that could someday be used as an orbital hotel. But in "Dispatches From the Final Frontier," Michael Belfiore provides lots of new details about Bigelow's plans for next month's test launch and beyond. And Bigelow's reworked Web site lays out the specifics for flying mementos in zero-G for less than $300, starting with its second test flight. The company even promises to post videos or photos that just might show your item floating inside the module — proving that you got what you paid for.

Since the sex industry is driving much of the spread of tech innovation, a Bigelow module would be the ideal sound stage for a really out-of-this-world porn experience. The DVD would be a guaranteed best seller.
