I didn't see this on the NASA feed here on the forum.

If you don't know who Robert Bigelow and Bigelow Aerospace are, in a nutshell, Bigelow is a budget hotel magnate with a keen interest in UFOs, and with his wealth, has taken some of this information and placed it into his own private domain. He has paid MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) for their database, which consists of thousands of UFO sightings and data that is held, for privacy purposes, from the general public. He also purchased the Skinwalker ranch in Utah, the site of many paranormal activities, and has made it off limits to other researchers.

NASA, Bigelow Officials to Discuss Space Station Expandable Module


WASHINGTON -- NASA has awarded a $17.8 million contract to Bigelow Aerospace to provide a new addition to the International Space Station. The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module will demonstrate the benefits of this space habitat technology for future exploration and commercial space endeavors.

"The International Space Station is a unique laboratory that enables important discoveries that benefit humanity and vastly increase understanding of how humans can live and work in space for long periods," NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver said. "This partnership agreement for the use of expandable habitats represents a step forward in cutting-edge technology that can allow humans to thrive in space safely and affordably, and heralds important progress in U.S. commercial space innovation."

Garver and Bigelow Aerospace Founder and President Robert Bigelow will discuss the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module program at a media availability at 1:30 p.m. EST (10:30 a.m. PST) Wednesday, Jan. 16, at Bigelow Aerospace facilities located at 1899 W. Brooks Ave. in North Las Vegas.
