Several major stars are heading to the moon!
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has picked his crew members for SpaceX‘s first all-civilian mission to the Moon.
He chose eight crew members and two backups from various backgrounds around the globe to be part of the mission called “dearMoon” – and they include a boy band member, a YouTuber and a famous DJ.
“The first civilian mission to the Moon is planned to take place in 2023. The rocket developed by Elon Musk‘s SpaceX will make a week-long journey to the Moon and back,” the moon mission’s official website states.
The billionaire said the project received about a million applications from interested parties.
“In 2018, Japanese entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa purchased all the seats aboard this rocket. Wishing to give as many talented individuals as possible the opportunity to go, he announced in March 2021 his plans to choose 8 crew members from across the world.”
