High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! America`s Space Prize was a US$50 million space competition in orbital spaceflight established and funded in 2004 by hotel entrepreneur Robert Bigelow. The prize would have been awarded to the first US-based privately-funded team to design and build a reusable manned capsule capable of flying 5 astronauts to a Bigelow Aerospace inflatable space module. The prize expired January 10, 2010, without a winner or any test flights attempted. There must be two flights within 60 days. The teams were required to have been based in the United States.
