"The International Space Station gained a brand new room on Saturday (April 16), but it will be another month before it grows large enough for the astronauts to enter.
A first-of-its-type inflatable structure, the BEAM — or Bigelow Expandable Activity Module — built by Bigelow Aerospace, was attached to the rear-facing port of the space station's Tranquility node. It is the first new addition to the orbiting outpost in five years."
Bigelow already has proven their HAB Technology with Genesis I and Genesis II, and they have several other projects they have proposed and built but not launched. Hopefully with the BEAM NASA will get over their distaste of Inflatable HAB's, and start trying to use them in orbit and My biggest hope on the Moon and on Mars.
