Developers are planning a giant $5bn replica of the Earth’s closest neighbour, offering tourists ‘low-gravity’ moonwalks, lunar-rover taxis and … er … a wellness spa

No. Nor should you moon at it; you might go to jail.Also, no. Michael Henderson, one of the entrepreneurs behind the project, told Dubai’s Khaleej Times that the facade of the moon structure would be made of carbon fibre, and would replicate the surface of the moon and its craters.The usual: a wellness spa, a nightclub, 4,000 “luxury resort suites”, including – take note, Premier League footballers – 300 boutique private residences that will be available to buy.Of course.

The resort’s signature attraction “will enable guests to experience walking on the lunar surface while exploring a vast working lunar colony,” said Henderson.He didn’t go into too much detail, because of third-party agreements, but he did say: “The astronaut suit you will be wearing on the moon’s lunar surface will provide you with a certain percentage of gravity reduction.”Who knows? Anything’s possible in Dubai, isn’t it? Anyway, they reckon it will attract 10 million visitors a year.
