That’s a long time to wait in the lobby.
I’d love to see that contract. Give us money I swear it’s going to work!
The bad news is you have to arrange your own transportation
Or I could put $1/4M in a furnace, for the same effect except it would also keep me warm.
I’m sure this will happen just like any other promises of space / moon / mars tourism.
There’s a sucker born every minute.
Anyone wanna bet on the delay?
Surely we will have hotel rooms on the moon in 6 years, and this isn’t just some random company trying to pump and dump false promises.
Tonight, we ~~steal~~ stay on the moon!
So Gru is gonna get the moon, huh?
Haven’t we seen this movie already?

Isn’t the GRU the Russian CIA?
OK but like whats not so obvious grift here? Money laundering?
From the people who brought you fyre festival
>rooms will be ready in as little as six years
…. and in as long as never when this outfit goes bankrupt.
Let me guess, as soon as they complete their Titanic sub.
First thing that popped into my mind is that Elizabeth Holmes has somehow:
1) Gotten out of jail
2) Switched from healthcare to space travel
3) Started another company
I bet they’ll still charge for the bottled water.
Oh so theyve figured out how to source water on the moon? Because they sure as hell arent flying it out
Just like Musk promised to put a man on Mars in 10 years 14 years ago.
First of April came early this year.
Oceangate Titan Sub Incident V2 incoming
It’s “Hello Tomorrow!” today!
That was a fantastic show, btw.
Now with this news plus the news that the G7 postponed a meeting so Trump could hold a UFC fight on the White House lawn, it looks like Hello, Tomorrow! and Idiocracy are both coming true. 😟
I seem to recall some company advertising an orbital hotel that would be ready by 2020…
I heard they also sell spaces on submarines to visit the Titanic!
I saw this show on Apple, Hello Tomorrow!
Buyer beware…
Pretty sure Gru shrunk the moon, saw it in a documentary once
$1 per mile, what a bargain!
only signing up if the shuttle controls come in the form of an old video game controller (game cube pref.)
The room $250k, the airfare is $250 million. Funeral expenses are free
Reminds me of that apple TV series
Can you imagine having to come all the way back to the lobby on earth when the room key demagnetizes?
“How to get money from stupid people and then disappear forever 101”
**”as little as six years”** only specifies a **minimum** time. It does not specify a maximum or a target date. So they are essentially saying that it will be at least six years, but could be any length of time longer than that.
>It sounds crazy, doesn’t it? After all, GRU Space had, as of late December when I spoke to founder Skyler Chan, a single full-time employee aside from himself. And Chan, in fact, only recently graduated from the University of California, Berkeley.
Yeah. It’s ridiculously obvious grift.
Or, or . . . A really weirdly named front for a Russian military intelligence operation.
Either way, no.
OceanGate 2: Electric Boogaloo AKA SpaceGate incoming.
Press X to doubt. This isn’t happening.
>interning at Tesla to write vehicle software
You know, I’m good here on Earth.
This totally makes sense as we already have people on mars just like Elron promised.
That’s one expensive coffin huh ?
