It’s been 53 years since humans last set foot on the moon, with another crew set to launch in early 2026. While space colonization is still widely considered a science-fiction pipe dream, one California company is getting ahead of the game in the hopes of being the first to make a profit.

Galactic Resource Utilization Space, also known as GRU Space, is a tech startup that hopes to build habitable dwellings on the surface of the moon. Their multi-phase plan includes testing inflatable structures in 2031, and eventually making ‘hotels’ by 2032.
According to their plan, these hotels would be built on Earth and delivered by a heavy lander, and would be suitable to house up to four people for multi-day stays.
“Designed to operate for 10 years, the hotel offers views of the lunar landscape and Earth, along with envisioned experiences such as surface experiences including Moonwalks, driving, golfing, and other activities,” their website reads.

Those interested in being one of the first humans to vacation on the moon will have to be rich enough to reserve their spot. GRU is taking minimal deposits of $250K up to $1M, depending on which experience they choose. While full pricing has yet to be decided on, GRU says it could exceed $10M.

imagine, you're just chilling in your comfy breakfast nook, observing the earth rise, and then part of the building gets smoked by a space rock. Nah, I'm gonna pass.

On average, 33 metric tons (73,000 lbs) of meteoroids hit Earth every day, the vast majority of which harmlessly ablates (“burns up”) high in the atmosphere, never making it to the ground. The Moon, however, has little or no atmosphere, so meteoroids have nothing to stop them from striking the surface. The slowest of these rocks travels at 20 km/sec (45,000 mph); the fastest travels at over 72 km/sec (160,000 mph). At such speeds even a small meteoroid has incredible energy — one with a mass of only 5 kg (10 lbs) can excavate a crater over 9 meters (30 ft) across, hurling 75 metric tons (165,000 lbs) of lunar soil and rock on ballistic trajectories above the lunar surface.
