Italina Hab

Also the Italians have proposed building a Hab module. They are offering two
options, a short module and long module. The long module is a bit like the
old US Hab concept. The short module is about the size of US Node 3. The
Italians want to do all of it (software, hardware etc. excluding some US
GFE. Right now he US does software for all US elements -excluding the FGB,
that was done by RSA. Kinda cool, people who read Cyrillic writing Ada for a
386 box.). So out of interest would people support the Italian Hab flying
if all it cost the US was a launch + costs?

References? Things like this have been proposed in the past. Are you
just re-hashing this old information, or do you have new information?
Readers here are likely more interested in current developments than
in re-hashing old news.

If it says "This is not spam!", it's surely a lie.

It was a nice proposal from last year getting talked about again.

I guess it all depends on whether Pininfarina does the design work ;-)

I'm imagining something a lot like that British Airways commercial from a
while back -- long lacquered wood table running down through the center,
etc...
