How much did it usually cost to travel to the moon last time?

During the period of 2006 54 38+0-2009, Russia, a fighting nation, launched a space tourism project, sending seven tourists to the International Space Station, including 58 Charles Simonyi, the "father of writing", at a cost of about 20-35 million US dollars each, which was about1600-280 million RMB at the exchange rate at that time.

However, with prices rising so fast, tickets to heaven will naturally go up. Just last year, the American space exploration technology company Private Aerospace Company signed the first passenger order, and planned to send an ordinary person to the moon and fly around it for a week. This is the first moon traveler from the United States after the Apollo moon landing program. It is estimated that the price of this trip may be around $654.38+75 million.

An organization called "Space Exploration" provides the rich with the opportunity to fly to the space station in a rocket made in Russia. So far, seven customers have completed such a trip.

Guy Laliberte, the billionaire of Cirque du Soleil, spent $35 million (about 24 1 100 million yuan) in space for several weeks. When NASA announced earlier this year that the American part of the International Space Station would be open to private users, Bigelow Aerospace offered $52 million.

Musk's space exploration technology company also plans to charge a Japanese billionaire for a trip to the moon in the future 10, and the exact amount is not disclosed.

The price of Virgin Galactic is the cheapest. The company plans to provide 90 minutes of space flight at a cost of $200,000-$250,000 each time, which is about the median house price in the United States.

According to the documents disclosed by Virgin Galactic, most of the 600 people who signed up for the project have a net worth of more than $6,543,800+million, and one-third have a personal home worth of more than $20 million.

Some analysts believe that space travel will become cheaper, because the prices of most of these technologies will drop sharply over time.

Virgin Galactic has its own standards, and people are willing to spend 1.5% of their net assets for a space trip. This means that even if Virgin Galactic reduces the ticket price of space travel by 90%, their target customers still need to have a net asset of $654.38+$00,000 to $2 million.

It is not difficult to find that in the foreseeable future, space vacation is out of reach for most people. But many aerospace enthusiasts firmly believe that one day, humans will run around the solar system and work in other planets or habitats.

The three most famous space entrepreneurs today are billionaire richard branson, Tesla President elon musk and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. They won die-hard fans and received a lot of criticism. Critics question that if the space travel company is founded by the richest people in the world, its future will not be particularly fair.

Maybe in a few hundred years, everyone can afford space travel. But now, if you want to go into space, you have to be worth at least millions of dollars.
