Moon Travel As Recreation

Today's CNN Quick Vote survey question is
If you had $100 million, would you spend it on a trip to the moon?
  • Yes
  • No
  • Are you crazy?
So far, of the 143977 people who have answered, 12569 have said yes. That's 9%. Never mind that the vast majority voted otherwise. Seems to me that there's a vast marketplace to tap among hundredmillionaires. If nearly one in ten of them would be willing to cough up their dough for a joy ride, it would be worth it for some enterprising commercial space travel startup company to pursue that avenue of recreation. Heck, they might even get featured on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous".

I can just see the travel brochures ...

No I can't.
