Visit Moon Base - In Krakow
It just costs too much to visit other planets. Face it. Even getting near the edge of space is for millionaires only.
That's why it's just cheaper to go to Krakow, Poland, where they've built the moon base you're looking for.

Okay, it's not a moon base. But it is the coolest radio station ever - RMF FM, based in Krakow, Poland.

As far as I know, the first use of the phrase "moon base" was in a book by L. Ron Hubbard from 1948 - see moon base for more.
If readers have any favorite places on Earth that are space-like and yet easier to get to, let me know.
