Hilton Once Proposed That They Would Have a Hotel on the Moon
In 1967, Conrad Hilton announced tot he Wall Street Journal that he plans to create a space hotel on the moon. He insisted that he would be able to see a Hilton hotel on the moon during his lifetime. They even sent out a reservation request form, in order to see who was interested in renting a room. Hundreds of people wrote back saying that they were interested. On the form, you can see “After 1973 arrival”, meaning that they estimated that they would reach their goal in just 6 years. This was incredibly ambitious, considering that the first moon landing did not happen until 1969. Obviously, this plan never came to pass, because we haven’t built any buildings on the moon yet.
