Bigelow Thinks Big, Plans Lunar Cruise Ship Tues.
People are tired of memories.
Many space enthusiasts have similar feelings. But Bigelow also has formidable resources and a plan to change the situation. Bigelow, whose holdings include the hotel chain Budget Suites of America, has formed a company called Bigelow Aerospace and is hiring rocket scientists and others to work on the lunar project. He hopes to bring other companies into the effort as well, and to have the spacecraft ready for launch in 15 years. Indeed, the Las Vegas businessman speaks scathingly of current government-run space projects.
