From the Earth to the Moon, as long as you’re a billionaire.

The private space tourism business just racked up a notch, with the announcement that the Golden Spike Company will be transporting various uber-rich types to the moon for spot of quality me-time. Of course, if you have a billion in spare change and you want to make a difference to humanity’s future in space, might I suggest backing the British SABRE space jet engine – or even buying the firm. Then everyone will be able to get into the solar system, not just the ones who founded Microsoft and Google, or happen to be born into petro-princedoms in the Middle East.
