Inflatables in Space

The new fad in space involves air. NASA is currently working on inflatable structures to put up on the moon.Created by NASA contractor ILC Dover LP these devices were tested in Virginia at NASA's Langley Center. Though the structures have been viewed by Congressmen and touring others there are still some kinks to work out. "“We also want to look at logistics: how well this is actually going to package up, how much mass it actually has, how do you arrange the internal parts [to create] sleeping quarters, walls and floors,” Watson told SPACE.com. “Those are some of the issues we’re going to be tackling in the next year or two.” So the inflatables are still being finalized.
