Yusaku Maezawa, an online fashion tycoon, was announced in 2018 as the first man to book a spot aboard the lunar spaceship being developed by SpaceX.
This is the sort of a chance that comes along once in a blue moon. Maezawa is inviting anyone from around the world to join him in a private lunar expedition.
The tycoon paid an undisclosed amount for the trip which is expected to launch in 2023. He originally planned to invite six to eight artist to join him on the voyage around the moon.
However, on Wednesday, he revealed a broader application process. “I’m inviting you to join me on this mission. Eight of you from all around the world,” he said.
“I have bought all the seats, so it will be a private ride,” he added.
The 45 year old said his initial plan of inviting artists had “evolved” because he came to believe “every single person who is doing something creative could be called an artist.”
He said around 10-12 people will be on board the spaceship, which is expected to loop around the before returning to earth. This will be the first private lunar trip and to the furthest point man has ever reached.
