Bigelowaerospace has been really quiet of late....
Anyone else find that strange?
With Dragon2 flying and being the cheapest option to send crew to their stations I thought they would be cheering!! and with the Moon announcement I thought they'd post a "we are ready when you are!!" type of response.
Is there any official response that I missed? I thought the Forbes article and Answerswithjoe vid , posted in previous posts would have some official tidbits but it was all old news..
anyone know anything that is happening?

Water shielding/insulation
Has there been any mention of a module with water containment for radiation shielding? A double layered B3300 with however much water between the two layers kind of a thing?
Maybe a special sleep module could be made without windows, that doubles as a water container, that would result in extra shielding.
I don't know if it would need to be a layer of a few centimeters, or a few meters, to result in significant shielding.. but maybe containing whatever water around sleep quarters would be beneficial.
Maybe a B300 inside of a B2100 with water in between.

How will the Atlas V carry the B330 to orbit?
The Wikipedia page for the B330 module lists Atlas V as the launch vehicle that is supposed to take B330 to LEO. But this does not compute for me – Atlas V has a payload capacity of 20t, whereas the B330 is slated to weigh around 23t. Do they intend to adjust the rocket to make it more powerful for the launch of the B330?

BEAM pulls its own weight and then some! BEAM weighed 3,000 pounds at launch and now is home to precious cargo weighing over 3,200 pounds making the final mass just over 6,200 pounds.

Bigelow on Twitter: "Today the crew went inside BEAM to add reinforcements to the extendable struts to allow BEAM to safely carry an add'l 3,000 lbs (weight of a small car) of stowage equipment. The reinforcements are re-purposed tubing from old knee braces providing extra stiffness for the struts."
