...laughing gas. (Don't laugh. It works.) PayPal co-founder Elon Musk, who has a NASA contract to build a robotic Pony Express to the International Space Station (ISS), is pouring his own millions into a ship for galactic travelers at his factory south of Los Angeles. Robert Bigelow, founder of Budget Suites of America, already has a small-scale, inflatable space station--hotel in orbit, an outgrowth of his curiosity about UFOs. New Mexico wants to become the Cape Canaveral of space tourism, but six other proposed spaceports across the country are vying for business too. There's even...

Bigelow, the mortar-and-pestle-decorated shop that Fiske plans to expand to some 150 locations nationwide, is a radical departure from Bath & Body Works' traditional single-brand, single-price-point strategy. Judging from the reaction of Kayla Sharrock, 19, a sophomore at Capital University who went shopping at the Columbus Bigelow on a recent Thursday, the strategy may just be working. She used to go to Bath & Body Works all the time when it exuded heartland hominess. "I was a junkie since I was 12," says Sharrock. But over the years she got tired of products that...
