New York Times : Boeing and Bigelow Aerospace of Las Vegas, Nevada, have won an $18-million NASA contract to develop and test a capsule that can carry seven astronauts into space. Such a capsule could ferry the International Space Station’s three-person crew to and from Earth and could also carry up to four fee-paying passengers. If the project runs to schedule, the capsules could be carrying their first space tourists by 2015.
