The Moon isn't to far away so how come we don't have tons of 5 star hotels and houses up there yet?

Question

I mean there are lots of aerospace companies that talk a lot of stuff but all they offer are sub orbital flights, Bigelow Aerospace is planning on building a space station hotel in orbit, but when can i expect to see luxury hotels on the Moon?

Answer 1

50 years at the VERY least. Probalby something mroe like 100 years.

The moon is a lot further away than you think. Let me put it this way: it costs literally one million dollars to get one kilogram of matter ito orbit aroudn the earth, let alone get it to the moon. THe costs to set this sort of thing up are enormous: hundreds of billions of dollars.

You need:
-Ships- hundreds of tonnes
-Fuel- Even more tonnes than the ships
-Building structures on the moon- even mroe.

The apollo program didn't set up any hotels etc and it cost over 100 billion dollars to do.

So there won't be lunar hotels for a little while.

Answer 2

I hate the way folk in this section bash the Xtians, but when someone posts the truth about Islam and their 'holy' book, atheists jump to their defence. It would have nothing to do with the belief that Muslims are brown, poor and still uneducated would it? Because if that's so, Muslims are NOT of one particular race, nor are many of them poor and uneducated. But, overall, you are right. The Qur'an and Bibble are choc full of scientific errors and ridiculous inaccuracies!

Answer 3

Well the first think it there will be opposition from Earth because you have to import Air and Water, which means stealing it forever from the Earth Ecosystem.

Next there's costs and safety. Right now it costs like $20,000 per pound to send things up.

How many people can afford $500 in postage to send one letter to a friend on the Moon.

Answer 4

not until the next 50 years when the cost of going to space, living in space, and enjoying in space reduce 100x fold... or maybe 1000x .... i don't think spending 10-20 million to go to space hotels and spa and observe the stars in hoping to see alien is worth it do u?

Answer 5

I think its problem with the water and food

Answer 6

Apparently, you are the man to get it done. Now go and get your hammer and nails and get busy. Time is money.

Answer 7

Except Earth none others got WATER to support life.

This also teaches us that there is life only on this planet Earth.

[41:9] Say, "You disbelieve in the One who created the earth in two days, and you set up idols to rank with Him, though He is Lord of the universe."*

[41:10] He placed on it stabilizers (mountains), made it productive, and He calculated its provisions in four days, to satisfy the needs of all its inhabitants.*

[41:11] Then He turned to the sky, when it was still gas, and said to it, and to the earth, "Come into existence, willingly or unwillingly." They said, "We come willingly."

*41:1 For the significance of these Quranic Initials, see Footnote 40:1.
*41:9-10 The ``days'' of creation represent a yardstick. Thus, the physical universe was created in two days, while the calculation of provisions for all the creatures on earth required four. This also teaches us that there is life only on this planet Earth.

[41:12] Thus, He completed the seven universes in two days, and set up the laws for every universe. And we adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and placed guards around it. Such is the design of the Almighty, the Omniscient.
