    Going to space isn’t such a big deal these days. Basically, you just need enough money and you can go. But if you have enough money, you might as well go on your own, or with some mates, right?

    Apparently that’s what’s about to happen – and yes, we should have seen this coming. Either way, it’s not as if anyone owns the moon, so anyone can go.

    Supposedly the rumours will become reality on December 6 when an announcement is made at a planned Washington press conference.

    The usual names like Richard Branson have been doing the rounds, but apparently Branson isn’t responsible, so one has to wonder just who is behind this? Maybe Elon Musk? Maybe not.

    Reads the press release about the event:

    The Golden Spike Company invites you to attend a game-changing announcement about the future of commercial human space travel to the Moon. Executives from the company will describe the team, the mission architecture, and the business model.

    Says Wired:

    The Golden Spike Company is registered in Colorado to planetary scientist and aerospace engineer Alan Stern, who ran NASA’s science directorate from 2007 to 2008. Stern also worked in the private spaceflight sector that year, as an independent research representative for Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. In a 2011 interview he said, “I hope that in 10 to 20 years’ time, we are on the hills of human return to the moon, so that we could then go on with humans to explore the solar system. I think this is our destiny.”

    Golden Spike have a Facebook page, where they’re posting pictures of people on the moon, and a Twitter account, so keep an eye on them. They might just actually do this.
