Genesis II, Bigelow Aerospace's second test facility was successfully launched this afternoon on a Russian Dnepr rocket (prior to the end of the Cold War, such missles were ICBMs; now Russia makes money with them). More details are available at the Bigelow Aerospace website: http://www.bigelowaerospace.com/multiverse/news.php#update

The Genesis II is a subscale version (16 feet by 8 feet, inflated) module for what will be a future space station.
