Whitey’s on the Moon (almost)

The possibly legit startup Galactic Resource Utilization Space (GRU), which may or may not have any relationship to the Russian intelligence agency GRU,  has launched a website to take reservations for a hotel on the moon. Take a beat though because the hotel is not on the moon yet, but the plan is to have it in place by 2032. Availability dates will be subject to transportation, and of course, whether the hotel is ever built. Or we should say, installed, because it’s going to be an inflatable structure. It will hold up to four people for multi-day vacations, which may include sightseeing, driving, and golf.

GRU is the brainchild of Skyler Chan, a 21-year-old Berkeley graduate, who has enlisted tech investors such as SpaceX and Nvidia. A big chunk of money is expected from the guests, though. Reservations range from $250,000 to $1 million, depending on the vacation package. A $1000 non-refundable deposit on the GRU website will supposedly claim your initial spot.
