Hi, Debra!
Since the museum will rely upon solar energy (we will be rather close to the sun), there will not be a great deal of overhead. As you mentioned in your plan, we have a Council that will meet (for days, if needed) until decisions are arrived at. This very same council will assign "public service" type work schedules for every citizen over 7 years old. These will be all sorts of tasks such as, cleaning, watering plants, recycling processes and general tasks that keep our ship in good shape. 

To gain entrance to the museum, each citizen will need to have completed their assigned tasks for the month. No currency will exchange hands, but the microchip in the "implanted watch" of each person will register whether or not they have completed their assigned tasks.

Your question was a terrific question. I thought it was better to make people "pay" to visit the museum by providing community service tasks. 

Thanks for making me think about how I would charge to enter the museum. It had been a pleasure to attend class with you and read your wonderful pieces. 

Happy holidays to you and your family!
Stay in touch!
