Page 1 of 11 RTE News have a highly interesting story about Russia's plans to send prospective space tourists on a space tourism trip to the Moon! They believe it is also a time to start indsutrialising Earth's satellite, and outsource some of the harmful industry to the lunar surface. From the article: "A flight round the moon would cost about €75m, according to Space Adventures Vice President Chris Faranetta. 'Technically, the (moon) programme is very achievable. We are not building things from scratch,' Mr Faranetta said." I recall a few months back somebody was trying to do something similar but said it would cost around $100 million. What is the Euro/Dollar exchange rate? Maybe this still holds!
