TashIts totally possible. A trip to the moon costs around $20 Million today, but its possible.

Jimmy 2004Microsoft officials are yet to comment on whether their chairman is arranging to leave the planet any time soon

Gates, who is the world’s richest man with an estimated $25 billion

TashNo moon landings since 1972? Are u crazy? They go into space all the time.. the one in 1972 was still using the rocket design.. they did build a new spacecraft - its called the space shuttle.

kakazzaUh, more like twice that iirc.

Jimmy 2004According to a Russian cosmonaut aboard the International Space Station, Bill Gates could be planning a trip to space sometime in the near future. Fyodor Yurchikhin, currently hosting former Microsoft engineer Charles Simonyi on the station, is claiming his present guest has told him Gates is also preparing to go to space, possibly on one of the $25 million trips to the space station provided by Space Adventures – although Microsoft officials are yet to comment on whether their chairman is arranging to leave the planet any time soon. Gates, who is the world’s richest man with an estimated $56 billion, has never been best known for high-risk endeavours, but perhaps he needs a new ‘Wow’ in his life now that Vista has been released?

I find it hard to believe that they have had hundreds of space launched since 1972 but have not gotten back to the moon - i mean, what else are they doing up there?

tkpenaltyYou know bill gates could freaking turn the moon into a "moon colony?" It might not be a trip.. it might be an establishment. Lawl... 50 years later, the moon is transformed into a habitable place.

ex_revenTHAT would be cool :)
But im pretty sure the fuel costs alone required to get to the moon and back is somewhere near the billion dollar mark. And that would just be for propelling the small craft they used back in the Apollo missions. Imagine carrying huge space installations past gravity out into orbit?




Gravity is a bitch :laugh:

Solaris17um..just wanted to throw in that we deff went to the moon...and if you told neal armstrong we didnt he'd prolly punch you in the head.
