Summary
A California-based startup plans to open a hotel on the moon by 2032. Galactic Resource Utilizations Space launched their booking website last month. Construction is expected to begin in 2029, pending regulatory approval. You can book your spot by putting down a deposit of a mere $1,000,000. How do we redeem the stress of our days? There’s a better way than escaping the planet. In one sense it will cost you nothing, while in another it will cost you everything, but in the end it will bring you a peace and purpose you will find nowhere else.
