"Announced by Silicon Valley start-up GRU Space, the first lunar hotel is projected to open in 2032, with initial construction processes beginning as early as 2029. While space tourism is becoming an increasingly realistic endeavour - SpaceX has run several multi-day civilian orbital missions and Virgin Galactic semi-regularly hosts paying passengers on suborbital spaceflights - GRU is the first to look at materials that already exist on the Moon to build a hospitality endeavor."
"The first hotel on the Moon (dubbed 'v1') will accommodate four guests and will be equipped for several-night stays. Fully manufactured on Earth, the inflatable structure will be robotically deployed and inflated in situ, according to the start-up. Details on the amenities and interior design of v1 are limited, but GRU has specified that it will be "equipped with a full Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS), including carbon dioxide removal and oxygen generation, water reclamation, and thermal control.""
GRU Space plans an inflatable, Earth-manufactured lunar hotel called v1, with construction beginning as early as 2029 and an opening targeted for 2032. V1 will accommodate four guests for multi-night stays and will be robotically deployed and inflated on the lunar surface. The habitat will include a full Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) with carbon dioxide removal, oxygen generation, water reclamation, and thermal control, as well as an emergency evacuation system and a solar flare storm shelter. Surface experiences will include Moonwalks and golf. V1 is designed to last up to ten years before a larger v2 follows.
