De la conquista del océano a la conquista del espacio:
“Every astronaut we have come in here just says, ‘Wow,’ ” said Robert T. Bigelow, the company founder. “They can’t believe the size of this thing.”
Four years from now, the company plans for real modules to be launched and assembled into the solar system’s first private space station. Paying customers — primarily nations that do not have the money or expertise to build a space program from scratch — would arrive a year later.
In 2016, a second, larger station would follow. The two Bigelow stations would then be home to 36 people at a time — six times as many as currently live on the International Space Station.
A largo plazo, el secesionismo en el espacio podría ser la mejor opción para el liberalismo (así de negras están las cosas...). Imaginaros las implicaciones del voto con los pies si pudiéramos despegarlos del suelo y emigrar a la otra punta de la galaxia.
