permit ’s face it ; you ’re never going to be an astronaut . And even if you were , there ’s no chance NASA would place you anywhere but the ISS . favourable for you , a company forebode Golden Spikeis formally offering moon rides . All it takes are some very , very cryptical pocket .
As theWashington Post reports , what Golden Spike is selling is a two - soul trip to everyone ’s preferent orbiter — moonwalk included!—for $ 1.5 billion . It ’s recommended that you go halvesies . As Stern explainedto the Post :
“ We bed how to do this . The difference of opinion is now we have rocket and outer space capsule in the inventory … .They’re already developed … .We do n’t have to invent them from a clean sheet of paper . We do n’t have to start over . ”
The primary client are expected to be , well , the people who can give it . Or more specifically the companies and body politic that can . It ’s unclear when the initiatory launch will be , but it ’s safe to say you should set forth saving those pennies now if you need a shot at walk in Neil Armstrong ’s footsteps . And start praying that those pennies magically change by reversal into millions . [ Washington Post ]
