How much would you pay to go to the moon?
Regular NASA estimates during the Apollo era were about 55 M to 90 M. According to Frank Norris, aerospace aeronautical engineer, seats have been offered recently for as low $100,000.00. This was kind of a Mars precursor for a Space X flight. I’d like to go for free and pay nothing. Indeed, the cost is dropping!
I’d like to schedule an interview with Ashtar at the Lunar Operations Command (L.O.C) and inquire about the aging nuclear reactor power plant and what plans they have to update the antiquated power plant. Like the Van Allen belts, she needs an upgrade badly!
I would definitely want to see “The Dark Side” tracking with Pink Floyd podded-in, and take pictures of the large grappling hooks that were used to anchor the station into geo-La grange stationary non-rotating orbit. Perhaps make jokes about the naivety of the human population below on Earth that actually believe the moon is a natural satellite even though it’s orbit perfectly aligns with the sun at precisely the correct distance for a complete umbra with the sun and Earth! Oh, and one side continually faces the Earth, making it convenient to come and go on interstellar flights without any notice Earth. Puh-leese! Ask a scientist how this is possible by natural conditions.
Don’t get me started. As Han Solo said so many years in a galaxy far, far, away, “That’s no moon, that’s a space station!”
Or at the least, put in a classic video of The Honeymooners and watch ‘the Glease” as Ralph Kramden, do his slow burn and send Alice to the moon!
