Holidays on the moon will be possible in a DECADE - but...

[blakegrr]

this is cool, but the spacecraft ticket will make you poor. hahaha just kidding. trip to moon is good if you are millionaire. you can afford the ticket for the tirp to moon if you have lots of money. but for the people in the third world. it is not advisable to do the trip. you will just end up being poor after you go back here in earth.

For £8000 I think many people can afford it.

This will be a big business opportunity. I know many companies are working on that. When moon travel becomes popular, the price will go further down.

That'd be very great, but why someone want to spend such an amount to visit the moon.
There are so many beautiful and fascinating places you can visit here.

Why? Because everybody will want to go the first time, just to see what it is like up there.

At $10,000 a pop, and with 7 billion people in the world, that's $70,000,000,000,000 they will make on the first trip. Then there will always be some who will want to go back. I hope their advertising is good. I might even want to go.

A trip to the moon.

Costing £8000.

Sounds like a scam.

 

The cost of reaching the moon is so high.

Even if the moon were made of pure gold.

It would cost more money to reach the gold, than the gold is worth.

To see such a price I choose silence, I think this is the rich people can do, and I am far from rich.

In a decade 8000 will not be only for the rich people. Monthly payments go up with time so many people can afford to go there and have a look. Most of the people of earth are curious to know so they all would like to go and check the moon and make some selfies there.

And what is so special about the moon? There are some places on Earth that would blow anyone's mind other than going to a flat grey non-lively ground with no modernity at all. If I want to live the experiment, I could simply get a 3D/digital TV and watch any moon expedition.

It is not about the beauty it is about the adventure of going to the moon, to go to outer space and being there, if my memory serves my right only twelve people have set foot on the moon, so it will be similar to those that climb the everest as a challenge.

Holidays on the moon will be possible in a DECADE - but a ticket will cost you £8000

Moon Express is a private company that wants to start offering trips to the moon for £8,000 a ticket.

The company was founded in 2010 by billionaire entrepreneur Naveen Jain and is planning to launch its first unmanned orbital mission next year.

Eventually, it hopes to be sending people to the moon by 2026. So far, Moon Express is the only private company to be granted permission (under US law) to leave Earth and land on the moon. It was given the go-ahead by the US Federal Aviation Administration in August in a move that could open up the space race to new levels.
