Take
me to the moon? Show me the colour of your money first, darling.
News comes
to us of the colourful activities of the Lunar Resources Company,
a company which has resolved to both advance and engage in space
flight as a commercial enterprise.
Setting their
sights high, these guys are aiming to establish and operate a permanent
manned lunar base, and in their own words: "to transact any and
all lawful business - on Earth, in outer space, and on other celestial
bodies - for which corporations may be incorporated under the Texas
Business Corporation Act."
We can only
hope that the definition of unlawful activity in Texas soon includes
that terrible barn dancing they subjected our journalists too last
time we were in the lone-star State, re-runs of Dallas on TV, and
the use of the electric chair.
We wouldn't
want any tourist astronauts subject to such crimes on the moon,
no sir.
See the lunar
tourist people at their site at http://www.tlrc.com/
Or drop them a line at tlrc@tlrc.com
and tell them the Crowsnest sent you.
Don't forget
to send us a postcard back with a vial of moon dust when you get
to the Sea of Tranquility.
As an aside,
there's a similar space tourism company at http://www.spacevoyages.com/
who can be contacted at zsv@spacevoyages.com
if you want to maximise your chances to get into orbit early next
century.
