Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has said that he plans to blast off on the first-ever private commercial trip around the moon and will invite six to eight artists, architects, designers and other creative people on the week-long journey.
The SpaceX Big Falcon Rocket is scheduled to make the trip in 2023, company founder Elon Musk announced at an event Monday at its headquarters near Los Angeles.
Mr Maezawa, 42, said he wants his guests for the lunar orbit ‘to see the moon up close, and the Earth in full view, and create work to reflect their experience’.
