The practicality of lunar tourism is a function not just of consumer interest, but by the physical realities of the mission. These include orbital mechanics, energy requirements and mission duration. The orbital transfer used, for reasons of safety, would be the same as used in Apollo, the Hohmann orbital transfer, and from that energy and fuel requirements may be calculated. The Moon and the launch site on Earth (or the position of a Space Station, if it was from that that departure for the Moon occurred) would need to be in precise alignment.
The location on the Moon for the landing would most likely have to be in lunar “dawn” or “Morning”, Continue reading Why Lunar Tourism Will Never Be Practical.
