Cosmic Landlord - Forbes.com. Well, maybe not Mars. But, real estate developer Robert Bigelow is spending up to 500 Million Dollars of his own money to prove that the International Space Station can provide comfortable living modules for retirees. Of course, like most real estate developers, Robert hasn't yet considered the bureaucrats, regulators, and lawyers he will have to navigate. He had better add to the budget. Who will have jurisdiction up there? How do you describe the perimeters of a condominium unit on a moving space station? What about sewer lines, rights of way, and zoning? Will we permit commercial enterprises? And, don't forget about the Rules and Regulations. Will there be pet restrictions? We need to have something for the Condo Commandos to do all day.
