1. "...on a recognized space mission..."

Are there space missions that might NOT be recognized?

2. North Las Vegas? Isn't that a dangerous white trash ghetto?

3. The guy is serious

Not much is written about the company and they don't seek publicity, but Robert Bigelow has major money to put into this. He's already launched two prototypes of his space station into orbit, and is getting ready to launch a third. He also has deals with NASA and Boeing to develop manned modules.

My bet is that Bigelow will be the first private company to get to orbit.

4. Yes, he licensed the transhab technology from NASA

I'm rooting for him.
I read an interesting interview with him recently, he's working with Boeing on a crew capsule, is looking at putting stations in LEO, earth-moon L1, and on the moon.
