🌖 Will a Hotel Open on the Moon in 2032?

San Francisco startup GRU Space plans to build a hotel on the moon by 2032. It is already taking reservations ranging from $250,000 to $1 million.

In 2029-2032, the company plans to launch three lunar missions to deliver sealed, inflatable habitat modules. In the future, the company plans to build hotels from lunar bricks.

Estimates put the cost of a single guest's stay at about $417,000 per night initially, with a goal of bringing it down to roughly $83,000 in later phases.

The founders of GRU Space insist that space tourism could become the main driver of the lunar economy.

❔ Still, the project raises many questions. The startup has neither its own rockets nor technology, and the renderings look like AI-generated images. It is also unclear how the company would settle formalities with regulators.

In addition, the founder, 22-year-old Skyler Chan, has limited experience. He received a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley. Before going into business, he only interned at Tesla for four months.

Do you think a lunar hotel will ever be opened?

❤️ — yes, of course!
🤔 — probably no...
