So...call it, around $1.5 million for a round-trip from Terra to the 12th Bay Lunar Resort (which also happens to have a secret base underneath it), plus lodging, food, activity, and other such costs; or, for the more impoverished, $499,999 to take a spaceplane JUST out of the atmosphere! (Minimal or no cargo.)

Great, all we need now is the reusable spaceplane, the Lunar base, and the fuel. And advertisement.

Agree with extautionate prices. If people pay $1.5billion to fly round the moon (and they are, takeoff in 4+ years if you're interested), they can and will pay $20 to drink juice on the moon. Ditto with coffee shop on Mt. Everest.

That's just for a few hours orbiting.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

Hm, so maybe the round-trip would be $1,999,999.99, not counting lodging and such. It'll be a bargain! Then we gouge them with the souvenirs, food, maybe a time-share presentation or a request to help find the Martian colony project, and we're good. Maybe throw in some advertising deals with Terran companies.

I'd go for 1.5 billion a day. Possibly a bit less though. Maybe half that.

We should also bring back and export moonrocks(in limited quantities). Don't mind the fact that they cause a variant of asbestosities(Yup, portal was right. Moon rocks are poisonous.)

I'd say $2mil for travel, plus a certain amount (probably in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per day range, possibly varying based on accommodations) for rent, plus food expenses, plus they'd want to get plenty of souvenirs.

How do we incorporate space cows and cheese into this? Also I strongly agree with the secret base under colony plan.

Technically, it's a secret base under a RESORT.

The spacecows should be smaller and have a higher milk yield. That way, we need less pasture for more milk. Perhaps they should also have shaggy fur, so that we can shear them and sell Space Cow Wool Sweaters. Or maybe that's just silly.
Maybe what we need is, not space cows, but space GOATS.

We basically fix whatever the rest of the colony does when it comes to relations to earth. So basically we babysit earth to make sure they don't get stupid and attack us.

I am good at strategy (diplomatic or military), but I cannot speak in front of a decent-sized group of people (read: more than 10).

The moon is a harsh mistress. Exporting rocks one slingshotted boulder at a time and letting the earths gravity do the rest.
