It was planned in 2008 that Luna-Glob, a “robotic
proving ground”, would be followed by a robotic
base, known in Russian as Lunny Poligon and this
base would progress with the construction of a
habitable lunar base that would have several components:
solar power station, telecommunication
station, technological station, scientific station, longrange
research rover, landing and launch area, and a
telecom orbiting satellite.
When the robotic phase is completed, the program
will continue with crewed lunar missions in the
2030s. As of 2017, Russia is planning to begin building
the lunar base in the 2030s.
At least something.
But the better option seems to be space tourism:
“Lunar tourism may be possible in the future if trips
to the Moon are made available to a private audience.
Some space tourism startup companies are planning
to offer tourism on or around the Moon, and estimate
this to be possible sometime after 2023”
Who could be interested: Bigelow could do it!
Bigelow Aerospace is an American space technology
company based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, that
manufactures and develops expandable space station
modules (wiki)
Bigelow Aerospace was founded by Robert Bigelow
in 1998 and is funded in large part by the profit
Bigelow gained through his ownership of the hotel
chain, Budget Suites of America (wiki)
There it is: Bigelow hotels on the moon as the first
step.
