Japanese billionaire unveils the 8 artists he'll fly to the moon on SpaceX's Starship in 2023
Japanese billionaire unveils the 8 artists he'll fly to the moon on SpaceX's Starship dearMoon flight

The creator of 'Everyday Astronaut' is among the eight.


Yusaku Maezawa, who made his fortune as an online fashion retailer, announced the eight people who would be flying with him on the dearMoon mission, which aims to use a SpaceX Starship to fly around the moon as soon as next year.

"I hope each and every one will recognize the responsibility that comes with leaving the Earth, travelling to the moon and back," Maezawa says in the video in Japanese, with a translation provided in-video.

The previously-announced 2023 launch date may push back substantially, however, as Starship has not yet been approved for an orbital journey around Earth, let alone a flight to the moon.

Absolute bullshit. The Earth is flat and the moon is a self-luminescent disk of plasma, not a rocky body that can be landed on…

I know you're being hyperbolic, but SpaceX was founded barely more than 20 years ago and in that time they have gone from nothing to be the dominant commercial launch provider. The Falcon 9 is the most utilized rocket of any kind in the world right now. I just watched one take off, turn around, and come back to land just a few miles from me yesterday. That development took longer than SpaceX thought it would, and Starship/Super Heavy is no different. I don't think it will reach the level of affordability they're aiming for, and it will certainly take longer to get it right than 2023, but I also don't think it will take 20 years. 5 to 10 years is my guess. I think the Dragon program is a good model for it; it was more complex, difficult, and longer than SpaceX anticipated, but they did get there while a traditional provider like Boeing is still floundering. Long term though, I'm still concerned about the lack of an in-flight abort system for Starship. It may not even bite them the first dozen times they fly people, but at some point it will probably bite them.

That you? nice. Was super happy for Everyday Astronaut when I heard the news, love his channel.

BTW maybe you can do GLP a solid and ask Tim to keep an eye out for aliens on the far side to finally settle GLPs curiosity once and for all tounge

I watched Tim's video last on the announcement, I was about in tears. I am truly happy for him and I'm going to follow him through this adventure.
