Fans can now fulfill their dream of staying in a hotel on the moon. A California-based startup is giving space enthusiasts the chance to enjoy a vacation on the moon, but it comes with a steep price.
It’s been 53 years since humans last set foot on the moon. However, it seems like this California-based company has grand plans to take their hospitality dreams to the moon literally.

According to their plans, they plan to build hotels on Earth. They will then be delivered by a heavy lander and designed to accommodate up to four people for multi-day stays.
Their website states, “Designed to operate for 10 years, the hotel offers views of the lunar landscape and Earth, along with envisioned experiences such as surface experiences including Moonwalks, driving, golfing, and other activities.”
Fans who are interested in staying in a hotel on the moon will have to pay GRU a minimal deposit. It will range from $250K up to $1M, depending on what kind of experience they choose. Furthermore, GRU revealed that fans who wish to avail a complete luxury experience may have to cough up $10M.
Their website dishes, “Humans cannot expand beyond Earth until we solve habitation on the Moon. When we solve off-world habitation, this is the ‘Promethean moment’ that will enable billions of human lives to be born on the Moon, Mars, and beyond.”
Moreover, GRU hopes to build hotels from larger modular inflatable structures made from “lunar material” that will be able to accommodate more people. GRU revealed, “As payload costs drop and launch cadence improves, this supports a permanent lunar presence and opens the path to similar destinations on Mars.”
