Excelsior

The Excelsior mission series by Mercer Corporation was the first private space mission to successfully put a tourist on the moon. As a completely commercial enterprise, without government involvement, it led to a number of arguments over whether it was ethical to allow business entities to commercialize the moon.

Cynthia Allen
Cynthia Allen was the first tourist to exit the craft once they reached Luna. The trip was a gift from her long-time boyfriend, Thomas Redridge, who decided letting her be the first tourist on the moon was a more impressive way to propose than buying her an expensive ring.
