Other companies have even more ambitious plans. Bigelow Aerospace is spending close to $500 million
on a project to build a 700-metre spaceship to fly tourists to the moon. The spaceship will be able to hold
100 guests, each with a private room offering truly unique views of the earth’s sunset. Even the Hilton
Hotel Group wants to get in on the act with talk of plans to build a Hilton on the moon. For the present,
only millionaires can enjoy the privilege of a space journey, but in the words of one Bob Dylan, ‘The
times they are a changing.’ And sooner than you’d think.
