You Can Now Put Down a Deposit to Stay at a Hotel on the Moon.
A startup called Galactic Resource Utilization Space (GRU Space) is now accepting $250,000 deposits from people who want to reserve a future stay at what it calls the world’s first lunar hotel.
The company’s vision is a small habitat that would orbit the Moon, offering guests sweeping views of Earth, gentle artificial gravity created through rotation, and a handful of carefully designed suites meant to feel more boutique than bunker.
No one is pretending this will be affordable anytime soon. The deposit alone costs more than most homes.
A $1000 non-refundable deposit on the GRU website will supposedly claim your initial spot, while a $250,000 to $1,000,000 deposit will official reserve your space to be one of the first to vacation on the moon’s surface.

Move over, Inside Out 2—we have a new animated king. Zootopia 2 has officially surpassed $1.7 billion at the worldwide box office, making it the highest-grossing animated movie in history. It seems the "try everything" message is still resonating, and Disney has effectively saved its winter box office with a bunch of talking animals.

A worker at a California library opened a package and was surprised to find a book that had been due back nearly 46 years earlier.
Cassie Koldewyn, branch manager at the San Diego County Library's La Mesa location, said she opened the package in earlier January and revealed the long-overdue book -- which was appropriately a copy of The Incredible Journey by Sheila Burnford.
The package was sent anonymously, with an unsigned note reading "Sorry this is so late," with a hand-drawn smiley face.
The library's records revealed the book was due back May 20, 1980.
"It's never too late to return your library materials," the County of San Diego said in an Instagram post. "The library no longer charges late fines that accrue daily for keeping County Library materials beyond their due date."

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - National Cheese Lover’s Day
Today is the day to celebrate the fact that humans figured out how to make "spoiled milk" delicious.
It takes approximately 10 pounds of milk to make just 1 pound of hard cheese.
The U.S. government currently stores over 1.4 billion pounds of surplus cheese in massive underground caves in Springfield, Missouri, to help stabilize dairy prices.
