Decades have passed since the last time man set foot on the Moon, and we are going to change that! In light of the UK's historic first-ever orbital launch attempt from UK soil through Virgin Orbit at Spaceport Cornwall on 2023, we are super excited to introduce lunar trips to the Moon, with our first departing in 2026! This is the ultimate trip for adventure-seekers.
We will meet at Spaceport Cornwall, known for the Virgin Orbit launch earlier this year. We will then board an Orion capsule and embark on our 5-day journey. After around 130 hours (give or take a few in case of traffic) we will dock with the Starship HLS and finally land on the lunar surface!
Once there, we'll spend 6 days exploring the Moon's wonders. Our home base will be the Lunar Lantern, a stunning 3D-printed base. Our mode of transportation will be a Lunar Rover, taking us through the "big 5" longest lunar craters, including the magnificent Clavius with a diameter of 230 km! We'll also hike through the Leibnitz Mountains, the highest point on the Moon at 8,200m. There are even rumors of valleys that never see the light of day, which may contain frozen gases and water in the form of ice. Who knows? Maybe we'll be the first to discover them!
But that's not all - we'll also have a special local guide, the Chang'e 4 probe. It landed on the far side of the Moon in 2019 and will show us the wonders of the Moon's dark side, including its studies on growing tomatoes on the lunar surface!
Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime adventure to the Moon. Pack your bags and your spacesuit, and let's blast off into the great beyond!
Tour mood
This lunar expedition isn't for the sun and beach enthusiasts out there - the lack of water and radiation would be too much to handle. If you're up for the challenge, make sure to pack a travel backpack instead of a suitcase, as wheels are not suitable for the rugged lunar terrain.
Physical effort
This is the first trip where you won't have to worry about the bikini operation! Due to the Moon's lower gravity, we'll weigh less and any physical activity will require less effort, making it a win for us.
Travel requirements
Prior to departure, we will need to undergo a quarantine period of around a month to prevent bringing any harmful pathogens from Earth to the Moon. We are confident in your ability to follow this protocol with ease.
In terms of safety measures during the trip, wearing a proper mask is mandatory. The mask you use to ride the tube in London won't suffice unfortunately. This is because the lunar atmosphere contains mainly sodium and potassium, which are not present on Earth, so it's crucial to follow the safety measures so you can breathe safely.
Arrival and departure
Our group journey will begin and end in Cornwall. We'll convene at around 10:00 AM on the first day for a delightful breakfast before embarking on the spacecraft. On the last day, you'll have the freedom to decide when to depart based on your jet lag, starting from the morning of the spacecraft's arrival.
