![]() Bigelow Aerospace Begins Hiring Round by Adding Former Astronauts Ham, Zamka, By Dan Leone, Jul. 9, 2014, SpaceNews http://tinyurl.com/q7t7rtl From above: Each Bigelow Aerospace space station would require about a dozen astronauts, including orbital, ground and backup personnel. and: Bigelow Aerospace has yet to book a launch for the BA330 modules it is building.

Bigelow plans to buy these on margin from the winner of NASA?s commercial crew program, under which the agency is nurturing development of vehicles to ferry crews to and from the space station.
