FINALLY! A CHANCE TO RIDE ON THE MOON!

A British aerospace company Excalibur Almaz , has
offered tourists the chance to go the Moon for the
price of £100m and its ready to blast travellers off
to our planet's satellite.
The Huffington Post reports that the company had
previously said it would begin orbital flights in
2013, but is now focused on the new plan to go one
better and head to the Moon.
Art Dula, CEO of the company, said he is "ready to
sell the tickets" as he describes the trips as less
'space tourism' and more 'private expedition'.
But critics have attacked his mission, for one, the
very premium price aboard is on a fleet of second-
hand Russian space equipment. The 500,000 mile
trip to the Moon and back could theoretically take
place as soon as 2015 but critics claiming that the
figures don't add up.
In its defence Dula said: "The EA fleet has
previously flown to space several times and will
undertake many more missions. It contains vessels
of a design that has spent thousands of hours in
space successfully. This is scientific fact, not
fiction."
The plan will be the first of its kind.
