I double checked, the article specifically said 7,925 British pounds. Supply and demand will boost the ticket price, I'm sure.
For $10K, my wife would give it to me as a birthday present. The catch is, it would have to be a one-way ticket. lmao

Whoever gets the muzak franchise for those will make a fortune.I knew I was getting old when I heard Julian Lennon's tune "Can't Wait for Goodbye" in Muzak.

Cheaper than First Class on a Singapore Air A380.

It is Peoples’ Express. The stewardess comes down the aisle and collects the fare on the way. That way, they save on airport counter help.

"Moon Express is the only private company to be granted permission (under US law) to leave Earth and land on the moon"Wait! What?! People need bureaucratic permission to leave the Earth and land on the moon?!?
One can understand national laws governing travel in the airspace over the US in order to get into (or return from) space. And there may be some international laws (agreed to by US treaty) on similar travel in international (over oceans) airspace. But once in space, travelling to the moon (or a planet), and landing on it, should be outside of the jurisdiction of any government on Earth.

That promise has been made for decades.
The closest anyone seriously gets are the balloons that take you to the edge of space.

They’ve already built a restaurant on the moon. Great food, but no atmosphere.

There is so much vacationing to do there, cruise ship, water skiing, snow skiing, lawn tennis, ... where do I sign up. /s

Golf would sell well. A par 5 hole at 2,400 yards.
