A larger payload lands near a lunar pit chosen for its natural shielding from radiation and temperature extremes. Inside, an inflatable system is deployed, and further construction tests begin, preparing the way for building at scale.

In 2032, the first hotel is landed and deployed on the Moon. Built on Earth and delivered by a heavy lander, the inflatable structure is installed to host up to four guests for multi-day stays.

Designed to operate for 10 years, the hotel offers views of the lunar landscape and Earth, along with envisioned experiences such as surface experiences including Moonwalks, driving, golfing, and other activities.

Future missions scale construction on the Moon using ISRU systems and robotic equipment. Modular inflatable habitats are enclosed by structures made from lunar material, increasing capacity from four to ten guests and extending operational life.

As payload costs drop and launch cadence improves, this supports a permanent lunar presence and opens the path to similar destinations on Mars.
