逐梦月球：首家月球酒店开放预定
Imagine a hotel not on Earth, but on the moon! A young man named Skylar Chan is working to make this a reality.
GRU Space, a startup set up by 21-year-old Skylar Chan, wants to open the world’s first moon hotel by 2032. It is already taking deposits (订金) from rich space lovers who dream of staying on the moon. The hotel will have basic facilities like bedrooms and windows for guests to enjoy the view of Earth.
The total cost of the rooms is not yet known, but Chan says it will be over $10 million. Luckily, people don’t have to pay all the money at first. The company now asks for deposits between $250,000 and $1,000,000, based on different choices such as room size and stay duration. GRU Space is not the first company to say it will build a moon hotel, but what makes it special is its way to realize the plan.
Instead of sending building materials and machines to the moon, it will use robot systems. These robots will make strong blocks from moon soil and put them together to build structures that can stand the bad lunar environment. The hotel’s construction is expected to start in 2029 if it gets official approval.
