This could be the future of space habitats. The compressed modules are lighter and save room on rocket launches. I looked through the info-graphic, but could not find information on the inflated walls of the compartments. Are they double walled, triple walled, and are they better suited to handle impacts from space debris? It's been a long, long wait for us to move into the space tourism age, but I think these modules will move things along at a faster pace. Especially the stand alone structures, It's an exciting time for us space enthusiasts.
