There’s a new object orbiting Earth that could be the first step in the construction of an inhabitable complex in space. Genesis I, built by Bigelow Aerospace of Las Vegas, was successfully launched into orbit by a converted Russian ICBM on Wednesday.

Mr. Bigelow owner of Budget Suites of America has decided on spending his millions earned in the hotel industry on a space hotel. Launching their first room was a success so far, laying the ground work for what could be a major success, or a large waste of money. Once the rooms are in orbit they then inflate and connect to one another. The company doesn’t state how the rooms will be connected, either via mission control or a space walk. Bigelow plans on having guest staying in space for several orbits around earth. The payoff here is the “American Space Prize” giving the first organization to send two groups of 5 into space and make 2 complete orbits to win $50million. Welcome to CrzyLand.
