Pagarás mucho dinero a los extraterrestres para ir tu casa otra vez. It was supposed to mean "You pay the aliens a lot of money to go back home". But I can't tell if I wrote it correctly.

The verb is in present not in a future form.
To my mind you've got two options:
Verb + Direct Object (DO) + Indirect Object (IO)
1) Pagas mucho dinero (DO) a los extraterrestres (IO) para regresar/volver a casa.
2) Pagas a los extraterrestres (IO) mucho dinero (DO) para regresar/volver a casa.

The grammar is correct but the sentence is missing a after ir.
However, a more natural way to say it is "Pagarás mucho dinero a los extraterrestres para regresar a casa."
"ir a tu casa otra vez" indicates going to your house various times.
