Blair Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace hints of announcements to come in the near future about the company’s plans, including a placeholder for a “Bigelow Space Operations” website: http://bit.ly/2BJmD76 #FAACST2018
Commercial space is not just about hardware, it’s about doing business differently. Bigelow Aerospace is ready to lead that charge. More details coming soon... bigelowspaceops.com
Elon Musk mentioned fairing version 2 as almost ready to fly. Is it possible the new fairing is larger and would allow FH to fly the Bigelow 330?
If so, he has actively avoided saying it was larger, when there was an opportunity to, and he was making much smaller distinctions about things throughout the press conference.
Here’s a Bigelow teaser for the new website (just placeholder image, attached, currently):QuoteCommercial space is not just about hardware, it’s about doing business differently.

Maybe it is counting down weeks?

I found it quite interesting that the ISS was pulled from the graphic. Was this always the plan or was Bigelow asked to remove it?
