First Hotel on the Moon
Finally Opens
August 23, 2025 - Today a new chapter
in space tourism was written. Rod Markham and his wife-to-be Susan Millster
arrived safely to the moon to spend 5 days as the first guests at the
Starbright Hotel that was set up for this purpose two years ago.
Not are they only the first
hotel guests on the moon, they also set a new record for expensive
accommodation since the price was US$ 3,7 million per night, per person. However,
the exclusive transfer from earth to the hotel was included in the price. The
hotel itself will probably have a tough time just to try to gain one star at
any hotel rating system, since there is no room service, the guests have to do
the cleaning of the room themselves and there is no bathroom in them.
However, they have more stars than they need just outside their window. Rod and Susan will get married through link by their local minister in San Diego, California at 9.00pm EST tonight, and the wedding will be broadcasted live by several major TV networks in a 1-hour special including the preparations for the trip. They were accompanied by six other astronauts that during the stay will set up further accommodations for the guests that have made reservations at the Starbright Hotel next year. The hotel has so far no employees, only temporary staff when guests.
