Seats on the Apollo capsule were strictly coach. Travelling coach for 250,000 miles makes hell look good. And no wine was served with meals. This is unacceptable. The moon lacks good restaurants and hotels and there isn't one pool. As a tourist destination it is very low on my list.

Sounds like a blast - however the next moon expedition isn't planned for another 15 years or so. I'll be too old to participate I'm afraid. This time they plan on keeping men/women on the moon for several months. The entire idea is to prepare and test equipment for a mars voyage a year or so later. Keep your fingers crossed for government funding, going to the moon and mars is not cheap.

I agree with Richard.

Mars has some drawbacks, as well:

"Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did"
- Elton John's "Rocket Man"

I'd still go, though. It couldn't be as bad as Mt Everest and people pay $65,000 and up for those trips.

Yes.
1. Hop around.
2. I'd be willing to work a lunar miner, since I actually like digging and I like tunnels.
3. Astrophotography.
4. Less stupid people.
5. To say I did.
