Dennis Tito plans Moon trip for belated honeymoon
Although the idea of traveling to space feels like a science fiction movie, it has become possible in today’s conditions. 82-year-old Dennis Tito took his place on the world agenda with his realization of space tourism on the International Space Station. Engineer Dennis Tito, the first self-made tourist in space, spent eight days in orbit in 2001.

Now, Tito is planning a one-week trip to the Moon with his wife Akiko, whom he married two years ago. He plans to realize this plan together with Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Tito made a statement about this trip in an interview. According to the statement, this trip will be a belated honeymoon for his wife. In addition, Tito said that he wanted to inspire senior citizens in this way.
According to reports, Dennis Tito hopes to embark on a journey within 125 miles of the Moon with his wife, whom he married during the pandemic, and 10 participants. The billionaire paid Russia $20 million in 2001 to allow him to travel. It is unclear how much Tito will pay for the new trip.
SpaceX, on the other hand, made a statement about the journey on its Twitter account yesterday. In the statement, he talked about Tito’s plan to pass by the Moon on his journey with his wife Akiko. “Tito joined SpaceX’s mission to contribute to the goal of advancing long-term manned spaceflight and helping make life multiplanetary.”
The billionaire businessman made some statements for the trip. “One of the things we both hope to do is inspire people that there is still so much we can do as we get older. Flying in space is actually much easier than many other things. I mean, I’m past the age of skiing, but space is a lot easier than that.”
