This practice is nothing new....these particular rockets have been used for commercial launches for a few years now, as can bee seen in this wired article from 1999.
NASA is not the first to do this. Some of the other partners in the ISS have all ready started working on plans to lease access to the research space that they are entitled to. Canada and Spacehab announced talks on this a couple of months ago.
In working on the website for the Artemis Society for the last year or so I dont remember seeing any schedule. Please post a URL for said schedule, I just can't seem to find it. David Wetnight
One thing that I want to add to this. We try to have a semi-scheduled discussion on the channel on Saturdays. The general time is 4pm eastern time, but it usually stretches to most of the day. All are welcome to join us.
For anyone that would like to discuss the subject of Moon bases or the Artemis Society, Members of the Artemis Society maintain a channel on IRC for open discution of the topics relevant to what we want to do. The channel is #Artemis on irc.superlink.net generally you can find a few of us there most of the time. We welcome all those who would care to join us.

12 men have walked on the Moon. When do you get to go?
Gravity in many manufacturing situations will be helpful...Things tend to stay put better in a gravity field. The moons 1/6 gravity would make the movement of large objects easier than on earth.
