How Much To Go To The Moon?

The Daily Prompt question is, how much would you pay to go to the moon? Gawd, I don’t know! This is like the million dollar question and no one knows except for Elon I think!

I have no big dreams of wanting to go to the moon. What’s out there? Some rocks? Something unseen? A creature that I don’t want to meet? I’m fine right where I’m at looking up at the moon and enjoying it from a distance.

We did this trip many years ago. It was to Hawaii, Maui. Our little boy was with us so it meant doing things that was fun to keep him occupied. My ex had this great idea of visiting Haleakala. It is a 10,023-foot shield volcano and is 28,000 feet from base, making it the third tallest mountain in the world. To make a long story short, it was a harrowing experience driving up to the mountain top and once there, it was cold! We were way up there and surrounded by the remnants of an once active volcano, meaning rocks! However, I just found out that according to the U.S. Geological Survey, Haleakala is an active volcano and is considered active because it has erupted in the past 10,000 years! That is even worse, anyway, my ex and our little guy collected some rocks in a plastic bag and we had to make it all the way back down, me holding on for dear life!

Point is, I think the moon trip would be just the same but with a huge price tag attached to it. Sorry Elon, but I can think of better ways to spend the money!
