September 7, 201115 yr comment_44284 Domino's Pizza Plans Restaurant On The Moon<br><br>When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...that's amore.<br><br>Or it could be astronauts eating Domino's Pizza in space.<br><br>The public relations department at Domino's Pizza confirmed to The Huffington Post that the pizza corporation's Japanese arm has proposed a far-fetched plan to build a restaurant on the moon.<br><br>If it turns out being anything more than a publicity stunt, the lunar restaurant would carry a lofty price tag. The Telegraph published a breakdown of the predicted costs, which are estimated to amount to more than $21 billion:<br><br>"The company estimates the entire project will cost Y1.67 trillion -- some £13.4 billion -- of which Y560 billion (£4.5 billion) will be required to transport 70 tons of construction materials and pizza-making equipment to the moon aboard 15 rockets."Building the restaurant seems to be a strike at Pizza Hut, which became the first chain to deliver pizza to space back in 2001.<br><br>An artist on the Domino's Japan website had some fun brainstorming what the pizzeria might look like, including a pretty imaginative "fun room" -- because what's the point of making pizza in space if you can't play zero-gravity darts while you're waiting for your pies?<br><br><br>Read More here (VIDEO): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/01/dominos-pizza-moon_n_945315.html<br>Japanese Dominoes site??: http://moon.dominos.jp/<br><br>------<br><br>First of all I have no idea if this is fake, real, or some marketing ploy (most likely).<br><br>Would this be a proper time to say WTF Japan?!?

September 7, 201115 yr comment_44290 Sounds like ultra rocket death station disguised as a pizza parlor in space to me. Report

September 7, 201115 yr comment_44390 It's a far fetched plan and will never happen. The sheer amount of planning to move that much equipment and materials to the moon is insane and would easily push that budget over the edge. No company in their right mind would spend anywhere near that amount of money on something that will NEVER get used. Why they would even announce something like this is just insanely stupid. Report
September 7, 201115 yr comment_44397 Not to mention, the rebuilding of their country after the earthquake and tsunami. Instead of a moon dominos, how about a giant protective lead capsule to encapsulate that nuclear power plant? Money well spent! Report
