Swedish plans to colonise space

This looks very cool.  I think with a lot of the new technologies we have for low-cost pre-fab housing, we should be able to apply the principles to something like this and be able to do this kind of colonization for a lot cheaper than what the US government and NASA are proposing it to cost.  Just get government out of the way and let the private industries go at it.  If there is money to be made, they will do it better.
