LunaCorp plans moon travel theme using Chilean desert imagery
LunaCorp aims to sign contracts to buy panoramic Chilean desert photos from Nomad to recreate Atacama journeys as a moon travel experience. The project, slated for 2000 launch, carries a $250 million price tag with theme parks contributing $5 to $20 million each. Visitors would ride motion platforms as rovers traverse lunar terrain near Apollo landing sites, while new robot species perceive the surroundings.
