Space X First Passenger Moon Mission
A Japanese billionaire is the first to book a passenger trip to the moon on a Space X rocket.
The Japanese billionaire paid an undisclosed amount to ride on the company’s new Big Falcon Rocket, which SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said will about cost $5 billion and could be ready as early as 2023.
Yusaku Maezawa is the first passenger to book a trip to the moon on a SpaceX rocket. Maezawa, the founder of Japan’s largest retail website, purchased every seat on the trip and plans to bring up to eight artists along for the ride. After their journey, the artists will be asked to create something inspired by the trip to “inspire the dreamer within all of us,” Maezawa said.
The Big Falcon Rocket will be nearly 400 feet long and equipped with a reusable booster rocket that will produce 200 tons of thrust. The plan is to send passengers around the moon and back – a more than 475,000-mile journey – in about five days.
Musk predicted the spacecraft could be ready by 2023 but the company has had problems meeting deadlines in the past. Its last rocket, the Falcon Heavy, had its first successful launch nearly five years later than planned.
