Overview
- GRU Space began taking online reservations this week, requiring a $1,000 non‑refundable application fee and offering deposit options of $250,000 or $1 million.
- The company proposes an inflatable habitat accommodating up to four guests for multi‑day stays, to be delivered to the lunar surface by a heavy lander.
- Its roadmap outlines a 2029 pressurized test payload on the Moon, a larger 2031 habitation test near a lunar pit for natural shielding, and an initial guest facility around 2032.
- GRU warns the total price per guest will likely exceed $10 million once transportation is included, and deposits do not guarantee a flight date.
- The early‑stage firm cites Y Combinator backing but reports only two full‑time employees, highlighting the plan’s dependence on industry advances and regulatory clearance.
