Well, he is into Dianetics, which makes me kinda nervous. But, at least his space pod has some real shielding in terms of the hydrogen bound up in the water in the water bags.

Bigelow Aerospace is just as important as space x. I am extremely glad to see that he is looking healthy because America cannot afford to lose such a dedicated space advocate.
