A California-based startup is offering people a chance to reserve lunar vacations at its planned moon hotel for a deposit of either $250,000 or $1 million.
Galactic Resource Utilisation Space (GRU) is a tech startup founded by 22-year-old Skylar Chan, which aims to build humanity’s first hotel on the moon by 2032.
GRU plans to send its first construction payload by 2029, with inflatable structure testing, followed by a fully constructed hotel by 2032.
The project hopes to kickstart an era of lunar tourism, despite the fact that humans have not set foot on the moon for the past 53 years.
According to the company’s website, interested travellers can now deposit $250,000 or $1m, depending on the chosen package, though the final price for a trip is expected to exceed $10m.
