Welcome to the foam age

The following registration application was filed in 2000 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Bighard.com, Inc., in anticipation of the company's initial public offering.

Bighard.com, Inc. (the "Company") was formed to provide specialized manufactured goods to governments; large, medium, and small businesses; and retail and wholesale establishments. The primary business of the Company will be to provide a cost-effective and expedient means of fabricating various building and industrial products through the use of patented foam-wall technology. It may revolutionize the building of new cities and the rebuilding of old ones on Earth. It may help to colonize the moon, Mars, and beyond. Space is the Final Economic Frontier. Read on!

Bighard.com, Inc. has created a patented process whereby an adhesive holds together the inner walls of an inflatable form in any shape until foam forces them apart, thereby preventing the foam from developing irregular bubble formation and surge cavities, and allowing for the construction of a structurally sound wall. It's amazing! Strong foams using silica and new polymers impervious to the elements are already available, and others are being developed today.

Like inventing the wheel, or discovering concrete or steel for the first time, Bighard.com's patented technology is not just an invention; it's an industry. Properly exploited, the problems this invention solves are so varied that this may go down in history as the beginning of The Foam Age.

Bighard.com's technology can be used to build residential houses in a day—after a shell is unpacked and inflated with foam that hardens. It can be used to quickly erect residential backyard storage sheds: just place the inflatable form on the ground and press the foam injector button, and in a few minutes the shed is installed. Also, cubes of the correct density can be used to replace stone and cement for large building construction. The product can also be used for roadway dividers and even roadway; spans or beams; emergency structures for shelter; backyard pools where a pit is lined with an inflatable cup shape; playground toy houses; decorative structures and/or free-form containers for advertising-product logos; mining; submersible structures of a very, very large size; boat components, docks, and bridges.

But there is one product that Bighard.com will manufacture that stands alone in its ambition: an inflatable space-station module, a moon or Mars colony habitat, of virtually any size and shape, with walls that deploy automatically. The foam constituents can have additives to resist radiation and impact from space debris. Upon deployment the internal structure is a clean room free of fumes and carcinogenic material. Bighard.com expects to be able to offer space stations of 5,000 foot diameter in the future; this size will be viable for biospheres, self-contained, self-refreshing ecological habitats livable for long periods of time without restocking vital necessities. Inflatable foam-wall construction allows for large structures to be compacted during launch. The advantages are that a structure of virtually unlimited size can be placed in orbit. Colonies of the moon and Mars are suddenly doable.

The future is now. The future of foam constituents is bright. Bighard.com expects that it will play a substantial role in space research, laboratories, human habitats, internal docking of spacecraft for repairs, and colonization of the moon and Mars.

A full 20 percent of the time and activity of Bighard.com will focus on orbital containers owing to the potential for a high rate of financial return. But more important is the possibility for Bighard.com to obtain great prestige from fabricating such space-station-oriented devices that the Company will become a household name and gain international recognition.

The duration of this offering will be a period of two years. The offering will be for 100,000 common nonvoting shares par value $20 each.
