Elon Musk he is known for his controversial and breath-taking statements, which, however, he tends to stick to in most cases. A year ago, he made a statement in which he claimed that in the future, with his company SpaceX, which is oriented towards various space programs, he will conduct tourist trips around the moon. At the time, Elon mentioned that the first flight should take place at the end of 2018, which is about a few months from now. Apart from the fact whether he will succeed, another important question arises. How much will such a space trip cost?

The entire tourist attraction should include two people flying around the entire moon in the Crew Dragon space module. The module should reach the cosmos using the well-known Falcon Heavy rocket, which has had several successful flights. The mission should last about a week, while of course professional training is also necessary for the passengers. However, after the information provided a few months ago, neither SpaceX nor Elon himself commented on the mission. Until now.
"SpaceX plans to continue to carry out private flights around the moon, with more and more customers showing interest. Privately managed missions, including a lunar orbit, represent an opportunity for humans to stay in deep space. These missions represent one of the main milestones on the way to expanding the human population to other planets," he defends Elon Musk, father of Spacex.
What do space vehicles for private flights from SpaceX look like? Falcon Heavy and Crew Dragon can be found in the gallery:
It can be said with certainty that the planned date for the end of this year will not be realized. However, the company did not specify the more specific times of future "excursions". Unfortunately, we do not even read about the space price list on the Elon Musk and SpaceX websites, which would indicate the price of the flight for potential customers. However, determining the approximate costs and actually the price of a space mission can be done by deriving the price for the transfer of astronauts to the ISS station. In koneas a result, the price of flights should be around 75 to 81 million dollars, which is really not a small amount of money. The price tag should include training to manage and use the computeronents in the ship, equipment control and disconnection training, authorization to fly for one or more people and their cargo, survival and food training in space, medical assistance after landing.

It is currently impossible to predict when similar flights into space under the auspices of SpaceX will take place. Maybe in the end we will even see the actual re-landing on the moon and not only its orbit. However, everything is remote miniat least for the next year.
I expected it to cost much more. This is a mouthful :D

That price Jirko is cool, I have it for 2x
