Moon Hotel by 2032: US Start-up GRU Space Plans World's First Lunar Resort

• GRU Space, a California start-up, plans to build the world's first permanent hotel on the Moon, aiming to open by 2032.
• The project, founded by 22-year-old Skyler Chan, emerged from Y Combinator and has attracted investors linked to SpaceX and Anduril.
• The hotel will use inflatable modules and convert lunar soil into bricks for construction, reducing the need to transport heavy materials from Earth.
• A stay is expected to cost over $10 million, with a $1 million deposit and a $1,000 non-refundable application fee required for early reservations.
• GRU Space plans lunar tests starting in 2029, possibly with NASA, to assess durability and environmental conditions before full construction.
