First Civilians to Go to the Moon Announced

Elon Musk’s private space company SpaceX continues to develop its rocket called Starship to transport humanity to Mars. But the rocket’s first stop won’t be Mars right away. Starship will be used for lunar travel prior to Mars.

The name that will appear on Starship’s Moon mission planned for next year has been limited to Japanese billionaire Maezawa Yusaku so far. But Yusaku would not go on this journey alone. Today, 8 names that will accompany Yusaku have finally been announced: It’s the place to shoot movies.

8 names that will go to the Moon with Starship:

Yusaku evaluated more than 1 million applications in his search for his teammate in the Moon mission he started last year and determined 8 names to come with him. Yusaku listed 8 names that will accompany him in the quest called “dearMoon” as follows:

Steve Aoki – DJ

TOP (Choi Seung Hyun) – Korean rap artist

Yemi AD – Choreographer who runs choreographic shows for companies like Apple and Google.

Rhiannon Adam – Photographer

Tim Dodd – YouTuber (Everyday Astronaut)

Karim Iliya – Photographer

Brendan Hall – Filmmaker

Dev D. Joshi – Actor

Kaitlyn Farrington – Snowboarder

Miyu – Dancer

Not a penny will come out of this 8’s pocket:

Maezawa Yusaku also made a tempting offer to go to the Moon with this eighth. One of the explanations made for the elections, to which a million people applied, was that the entire expenses would be borne by the billionaire.
