A Japanese billionaire has revealed plans to pay for eight lucky passengers to travel around the moon on one of Elon Musk’s SpaceX flights.
Yusaki Maezawa has opened up applications for ‘people from all kinds of backgrounds’ who would be interested in joining him on the deerMoon mission, which is set to fly in 2023.
The billionaire has generously offered to pay for the entire flight, meaning that all the passengers will travel for free.
However, Maezawa set out two criteria for anyone who wants to join him on the six-day trip around the moon on a video posted to his YouTube.
