Reply to comment by [deleted] in Do you think it would be possible that human can travel to the moon in form of mass tourism (affordable price)? Within 22nd century? by Tanpisit

Elon Musk should fund it. Being the man who built an elevator to the moon would make him a lot more legendary than fucking up Twitter. Only problem I see is his satellites but it's doable

SpaceX Starship could well get us there. If they get it working at scale, it'll reduce launch cost to LEO to about $30/kg, and give the world thousands of times as much annual launch capacity.

That makes it feasible to build a lunar colony at reasonable cost, and makes a trip to the moon cheap enough for upper-middle-class people at least.
