How much would you pay to go to the moon?

I’m an impulsive shopper. I’ve been known to attend an event where I admire someone’s handbag or dress and by the time the parking valet has brought my car around – I’ve ordered the admired bag or frock from my phone.

But pay to go to the moon? Eh…I don’t know that I’d plunk down any cash to propel myself light years into space. Although…

Five year old me thought the moon was indeed made of cheese. Swiss cheese specifically. I heard the term on the recess field in Kindergarten and the myth stuck in my head. Thankfully I’m now a girl of reason and did not let the myth grow into true belief like the earth is flat. If I’d stuck with the notion that one of the members of our Solar system was indeed crafted from cheese I may now consider a trip to the moon to pick up a few pounds of moon cheese for a Charcuterie Board creation. I love authenticity and will travel to make it happen.

Given my dislike for long airline trips I may not take well to the epic journey to the moon. I would imagine that NASA would not offer an attractive miles program or offer any good martini choices during beverage service. A Moontini might be a fabulous selection should this moon travel stuff ever blast off.

Great prompt. Great question. My answer though is a big, round, greyish no. Love you all to the moon and back. I’ll be staying here with you as we craft our next blogs together.
