If you have 200 million in your bank account, you could beat the Chinese.
200 million dollars will allow you to buy a ticket
on a modified Russian Soyuz spacecraft that will,
with the aid of an orbiting Proton BlockD stage
(which is included in the price of your ticket),
take you to the Moon before NASA, or the Chinese.
Of course you won't land on the moon. You'll just loop
around the farside, coming no closer than 100 miles from the surface.
Hey!....If I had that type of money to throw around, I'd go!
Too bad that it's a Russian billionaire waiting in the wings to take that flight, first.
Cheers.
