Default Bigelow Aerospace hiring former astronauts to man its space stations.



Bigelow Aerospace Begins Hiring Round by Adding Former Astronauts Ham,

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. The company?s business case hinges
on the availability of domestic, commercially available
launch and crew vehicles. 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.

"the perennial claim that hypersonic airbreathing propulsion would
magically make space launch cheaper is nonsense -- LOX is much cheaper
than advanced airbreathing engines, and so are the tanks to put it in
and the extra thrust to carry it." - Henry Spencer
