Let’s have a little fun with the math. Imagine you took out a 30-year loan for the $10 million trip at a decent interest rate. Your monthly payment would be around $60,000. That’s more than many people earn in a year.
You’d have to stop ordering takeout. You’d have to cancel Netflix, Hulu, and that premium cat food subscription for Mr. Whiskers. Basically, you’d be living like a hermit-entrepreneur who eats only ramen.
Why Should You Even Care?
Here’s the thing: you might think this is all just rich-dude fantasy. But the real reason to care is because you already paid for it. Your tax dollars have funded decades of lunar research. The technology from the Apollo program gave us everything from memory foam to better kidney dialysis machines.
Space exploration isn’t just about planting a flag. It’s about innovation. The price tag today is crazy, but remember: the first cell phone cost $3,995 in 1983. Now you can get one for free with a plan. The same thing will happen with space travel.
