Have an extra $1.5B lying around? Buy a trip to the moon

12/7/2012

Bang, zoom, straight to the moon? That’s what one firm is hoping to do for anyone who was $1.5 billion lying around for a trip to a low-gravity orbiting satellite of the Earth with nary a Michelin-starred restaurant or Starbucks in sight. The venture is being led by several former NASA executives, who are searching for countries willing to shell out the money for a two-person trip to the moon "for research or national prestige." The Golden Spike Company hopes to launch by the end of the decade. And FYI, if you happen to have a spare rocket or capsule, the company is in the market. [Source]
