I’m assuming that the numbers in the video refer to the BA-330 with room for 6 crew. Assuming the hab is rented for year, thats $450M a year at $75M per 60 days. The ISS is about 941cu m, so it would take 3 of these to replace the ISS, which would be $1.35Billion per year to rent. Although apparently the crew count could treble.
I’m wondering how much of the cost is Bigelow profit margin and whether these prices will make it possible to usher in a big increase in human space flight.
Can someone put me right please, cos I’m not seeing these Bigelow habs as a philanthropic project for the benefit of humankind and the furtherance of human presence in space.
