Domino's pizza plans to open on the Moon

[JohnK]

Construction firm Maeda Corp estimates the Domino's project will cost around £13.4billion - £4.5bn of which will go towards transporting 70 tons of building material and pizza-making equipment to outer space aboard 15 rockets.

Domino's reckons it will keep costs down by using the Moon's own mineral deposits to make the concrete for the two-storey restaurant, where staff will be expected to live.

'We started thinking about this project last year, although we have not yet determined when the restaurant might open,' a spokesperson for the pizza chain told the Daily Telegraph.

'In the future, we anticipate there will be many people living on the moon, astronauts who are working there and in the future, citizens of the moon.'

In 2001, rival chain Pizza Hut delivered some grub to astronauts orbiting the Earth in the International Space Station. Think it's safe to say the Domino's plan slightly beats that one - only if it takes off, mind.

Lol... Thoughts?

I'll order take away.

This is a joke right lol?

 

I'd have thought it would be a lot more expensive. If I'm honest though, after a year of reading the Metro newspaper every day on the way to college, I've learnt to take everything they report with a pinch of salt.

 

[K!D]

I think that Domino's pizza doesn't have enough budget plus it wont pay off easily!!

Mcdonalds on the moon over Domino's. Errr, one customer per 1000 years?

 

[Vanquish]

This seems pretty far down the line since moon vacations aren't exactly the norm yet but props to them for thinking of the future! I for one wouldn't mind a moon palace.

 

[SmokeHut]

Lmao, this isn't profitable for them. So blatantly just for publicity.

 

[SamBooDii]

How long would my pizza take to come?

 

[Rawrasaurus]

I honestly don't see this happening.. Maybe once people start to populate the moon, sure. But not now, it wouldn't make any sense.

 

[K 0 X D]

Wow, its final i've heard it all lol!
personally i think its a horrible idea. we'd have more alien activity in our solar system.

 

[General Grant]

Lol... Thoughts?

Oh my goodness, First Russia decides to make a "Space Hotel" now this? What's next? A "Space Colony"?

 

This obviously isn't serious, and even if they were, wouldn't be considered until the moon was populated. At that point, revenue is not a concern because of the astronomical amount of advertising a move like that would create.

 

[the_dealer]

I don't listen to anything the Metro says. All a ton of bs.

 

[Egu]

Delivery would take forever....

 

[Rs Master of Gold]

Delivery would take forever....

agreed they would have to be like if we dont deliver in 10 years your pizzas on us.

I wonder if they realize, by populating the moon, you're increasing it's weight, and since it's already shifting from it's normal pattern every so minutely every year...... putting pizza chains all over the surface isn't going to help much

The moon is moving away from Earth, not closer to it. Increasing the mass of the moon by transporting materials there would have an astronomically small effect but even so, any material that is put on the moon is taken from Earth. Whatever mass the Earth loses in this process, the moon gains. Everything stays equal. It won't have an effect on the gravitational forces binding the moon to Earth.

This has to be a joke. There is no way that many people would agree to something so retarded. There have only been 12 people walk on the moon, so I don't understand why the hell they would even consider it. Why would anyone want to live on the moon anyways?

 

[theGuitarist]

Guess I have to learn how to make my own ship now. Lol its a space pit stop.
Truly this has to be a joke. I mean there isn't any life forms on the moon yet.

 

[Stakingfool]

Can i a get a moon dust and rock pizza with alien brain as the meat plz..
