Would you like to go to the moon for your next vacation? The idea of staying in a hotel on the Moon would have seemed like pure science fiction just a few years ago. Today, a space tech start-up backed by big-time investors is pulling that dream closer to reality, with plans to build what it hopes will be the first lunar hotel by 2032.
This unbelievable project is being led by Galactic Resource Utilization Space, or GRU Space, a young California-based company founded in 2025 by Skyler Chan, who is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and who has previously worked on space-related technology as well as trained as an Air Force pilot.
