Moon Hotel -> The Intergalactic Construction Company of Earth
GRU Space is building permanent lunar infrastructure to make humanity interplanetary within our lifetime, starting with the first hotel on the Moon. In just 6 weeks, we built the world's first Moon factory: patent-pending hardware that turns lunar regolith into bricks and inflates modular pressurized habitats designed to withstand lunar temperature and pressure extremes. Our first mission lands on the Moon in 2027 to demonstrate in-situ brick manufacturing and habitat deployment. A second mission lays the hotel's foundation inside a lunar cave, and a third opens the first lunar hotel, targeted for 2032. We don’t stop at Moon hotels. GRU’s long-term plan: 1. Build the first hotel on the Moon. GRU solves off‑world surface habitation. 2. Become the Moon Base Company of America: build roads, mass drivers, warehouses, and physical infrastructure. 3. Repeat on Mars and build the first cities there. 4. Own property on the Moon and Mars as these economies grow. 5. Reinvest profits into resource utilization systems on the Moon, Mars, asteroids, and beyond—reaching our final form: Galactic Resource Utilization. GRU Space is backed by investors in SpaceX and Anduril, is part of Nvidia's Inception program, and our launch generated 1B+ views across 60+ countries, earning invitations to the White House, Senate, and Pentagon.
GRU Space aims to establish humanity’s presence on the Moon through modular inflatable habitats and ISRU-enabled construction, culminating in the deployment of the first hotel on the Moon and a pathway to scalable lunar infrastructure.
The company envisions a sequence of missions starting with pressurized testing on the lunar surface and ISRU-based construction experiments, followed by an inflatable lunar base near a protective pit. The flagship product is an inflatable hotel habitat deployed via heavy lander, capable of hosting up to four guests for multi-day stays and designed for a 10-year operational life, with plans to scale to ten guests and longer lifespans using lunar regolith-enclosed structures and robotic construction as launch cadence improves.
Who it’s for: Space agencies, government space programs, and private spaceflight companies seeking to establish a civil lunar presence and hospitality-driven lunar tourism infrastructure.

Building the First Hotel on the Moon
GRU Space builds off-world habitats using in-situ resource utilization, starting with a hotel on the Moon for space tourists opening in 2032. The product aims to host guests on the Moon and serve as the foundation for later lunar bases and interplanetary infrastructure, targeting a timeline from 2032 onward.
