Space Hotel Prototype Inflates 340 miles above Earth



Bigelow Aerospace, run by Las Vegas hotelier Robert Bigelow has successfully launched an unmanned rocket (a converted ICBM) from Russia and deployed, 340 miles above the Earth, a prototype of its space-living habitat known as Genesis. Genesis is crafted in kevlar and is inflatable. The company successfully inflated the structure, which is almost like a dirigible or airship, today.

It contains two life forms: cockroaches and moths.

The company hopes to begin space tourism within 5 years.

Here is a timeline:
