I sure hope so! Remember the story about the industrialist who wanted to die on the moon instead of the earth. Great short story. :-). I too would not mind breathing my last there.

Man, would I love to take a trip into space.

The way things are going down here, a lunar colony may be the only free and safe place to go in 30 years.

Agreed. That was the gist of that short stroy too. The industrialist had to sneak off of the earth to get there.

This reminds me of the Apollo 8 flight:
What an incredible sight to behold firsthand.

I would give everything I owned to to behold that firsthand! Quite breathtaking! I certainly would want to sign up for a trip. As a final view at death though I couldn't think of a one I'd prefer more.

I don't know, an anarchist type society might work on the moon, for a while at least. At least that's what Robert Heinlein led me to believe. :)

ssshhhhh! that was a classified mission =)

Technology is one thing. The price of a ticket is another. Soyuz to orbit and back is still $20 million. What is a lunar swingby going to cost?
