Is it time to start a Bigelow thread?? Or is there an appropriate place for this important space flight experiment?

Berthing full webcast but watermarked (which I hate but it's the only one that I could find):

Sadly, UStream borked the recording; the block here is only 11+ minutes long (should be 180 minutes):
