Here is a fact sheet about the FAA review: https://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=20595

I agree that the moon would probably be a boring place to visit.
The only reason to go is just to say you did it.

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.

Oh, the wealthy are simply looking for a place to go, so that when the crash comes, they won't get executed by the masses, simply for being rich.

Cool
Oh, I got your point Grin Grin Grin Grin.

You mean sort of like that movie The Purge?
The last one Election year was my favorite. Cheesy

In 10 years, $10,000 may have inflated to $20,000. But, there are many people who can afford this, one time.

Cool

EDIT: Note that the original article says pounds, not even euros. The European Union and euros will be gone long before 10 years is up. If the coming economic crash (that has been predicted for decades, so who knows if it will come) is big enough, the whole space program and everything else might be down by then. We might be back to primitive living, just learning how to barter with gold and silver again.

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.
