Re: a bigalow Mars Direct?

I know gene Meyers at SIG. Look, there were plans some years ago concerning passengers in the shuttle bay. He has let the Space Hotel thing slip and is more interested in large powersat demonstrators and has developed quite a few contacts. There was once a time that large numbers of folks were going to space on STS--before Columbia--so that isn't too farfetched

Bigelow seems more like a joke.

Gene is what a space start up leader should be. He wants to work with Griffin and VSE and find a payload for CaLV. That is where the alt.spacers need to focus. Let Bigelow fund a simple hollow tube for CaLV and have a simple hotel if he wants one. Perhaps that would be a good test payload for CaLV so if there is a mishap--you haven't really lost anything. Just a big tube with rooms and a soyuz dock on one end. That isn't too far-fetched.
