Whether big or small. We all have that one thing from Scifi we wished were real. I’d love to see a cool underground city with like a SkyDome or a space hotel for instance.

      According to this article, a tourist space flight is/will cost $450,000. That’s just to break earth’s atmosphere. Tack on the additional cost of several days of space flight to reach and return from the moon, plus breaking the Moon’s gravity to return, plus the cost of building, maintaining, and staffing a moon base. Costs would be unbelievably prohibitive.

      Vegas, meanwhile, is built on draining gambling-addicted grandmas’ pension funds. You can’t target that demo on the moon.
