So, I’m taking a survey, and I know I’m probly not supposed to tell anyone about these things, but hell…this is just too cool not to talk about!! 
So, where can I pick up an application?! 
Eh, sounds more like “selling stock” than “selling tickets to the moon”.
Don’t sign anything.
Hell, I’d do it. Sure, my contribution wouldn’t amount to much compared to the staggering cost of the venture, but it’d be cool to be part of.
Figure the costs, though: launch alone is what, a cool $100MM, the cost of the landers and launch vehicle, figure a stiff billion $$ all told. Then, of course, you’ve got to have a command center and staffing…eek, the costs! But still, I think it’d be awesome to be part of.
After continuing with the survey, they pitched all kinds of cheesy crap at me.
The most promising and entertaining one was being able to control one of the robots for a fixed amount of time, and then being able to take a snap-shot from the robot with which they’ll personalize and such, and as they put it, “erase the digital negatives” so your picture is “one of a kind”.
Then there was something about inviting me to the launch, a special VIP dinner, visiting the control center, etc.
And then they want to place a monument on the moon with messages and names of people who will pay the exhorbitant, I’m sure, amounts of money to put them there, and an identical one at Cape Canaveral.
So, it wasn’t as cool sounding as I thought…
…when do I get to go to the moon?!?
