The world is gearing up for space travel. Whether that means creating permanent settlements on mars, or working to setup research bases on the moon, engineers at top space companies are working on it.

Bigelow Aerospace is one such company. The company, who made news with their “Space homes” is now working on a unique design that could be fit on a space station. It is predicted to hold up to a dozen people. It would be no small feat to build a rocket that could encase the massive homes.

The company is currently working on a rocket using a B330 module. The current plan is to release two B330s by 2021. This distraction of private organizations is a new revolution in space travel. It will be a capitalistic free-for-all as the article puts it. The trump administration agrees with these capitalistic ideas, and plans to fully defund federal financing of the Space station by 2024.

If commercial space stations go on for a revolution, funding for NASA will not stop. NASA will just have more money to start sending astronauts to Mars and back to the Moon. This is, of course, all conceptual. There is a small market for the B330s but should the situation arise, it will be a full revolution for space travel.

From federalistic to capitalistic, the way we think of space travel could soon change. For better or for worse, remains to be seen.
