Domino's Plans Pizza On the Moon

Posted by samzenpus on from the extra-cheese dept.

It may be more PR stunt than a viable expansion plan, but the Japanese arm of Domino's Pizza is making plans for a lunar store. Construction firm Maeda Corp has drawn-up the plans for the dome shaped restaurant and figures it will take 70 tons of materials and pizza-making equipment. Even with the cost cutting measure or using mineral deposits on the moon to make the concrete, Domino's estimates the costs at Y1.67 trillion ($21.7 billion). In 2001 rival chain Pizza Hut made a delivery to the International Space Station, but Domino's hopes to become the preferred pizza of space with the moon store plan.

    ... of having pizza delivery kids handling vehicles at that speed. They drive fast enough as it is on earth. Just wait until their Hondas don't need to battle gravity...

      On the bright side going too fast over a bump will shoot them off into orbit.
