Hotelier Robert Bigelow told Reuters on Tuesday he gave Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump $1 million for his legal fees and agreed to donate another $20 million to a pro-Trump outside group for campaign purposes. “I gave him $1 million towards his legal fees a few weeks ago. I made a promise to give him $20 million more, that will be to the super PAC,” the Nevada-based owner of Budget Suites of America said in an interview.

    Not only from Budget Suites, but also the recently bankrupt Bigelow Aerospace. They were a cool company that started work on inflatable habitats/workspaces for space. Guess he couldn’t keep that going, but still has $20 million to hand out to Trump.

    For any space nerds, the inflatables project was taken over by Sierra Space and things are looking promising. 👌 Good riddance to Bigelow.
