SpaceX Announces Full Crew for Privately Funded Moon Mission

Eight passengers have been selected by Japanese fashion mogul Yusaku Makawa. They will be joining him on a trip to the moon powered by SpaceX’s yet-to fly Starship spacecraft. This group includes American DJ Steve Aoki, and Tim Dodd (better known as the Everyday Astronaut).

Dear Moon was the first to be announced in 2018. Maezawa originally planned to bring a group of artists along on his six-day trip around Moon, but he later stated that he has expanded his definition of “artist” and would accept people from all walks, of as long as they consider themselves artists.
