SpaceX could soon be launching humans to space hotels with its Crew Dragon spacecraft
Bigelow Aerospaceof its Crew Dragon spacecraft under its belt – although it still has to stick the landing – SpaceX could soon be launching humans to a number of exciting orbital destinations. And, yes, that includes space hotels.
Beyond those six missions, however, there are a number of exciting destinations that the spacecraft could travel to. This is a commercial vehicle, and commercial customers will be able to pay for flights in the near-future, with up to seven seats per flight available. It is developing a habitat known as the B330, which will have 330 cubic meters of interior space – a third that of the ISS. In 2021, it hopes to launch two of these habitats into space on Atlas V rockets from the United Launch Alliance .
