Re: Space Island Group - Building ET stations in LEO
Looks like an innovative use of expended fuel tanks. Will they have to pay NASA to unload those things where they want them? I didn't think NASA would be accomodating of private ventures like this, I hope it pans out. I hope they cut some holes in the tanks though to make windows. It's gonna be a lousy spacestation, not to mention a very lousy space hotel, if there's no windows. But in any case I guess it's a start.

Re: Space Island Group - Building ET stations in LEO
I love it!! But how will they raise the money? "Roton" had a comparatively conservative program to create a cheaper, better launch system, and they went broke.
