Japanese billionaire and entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa released the names of the eight people who will join him on a trip to the moon on a SpaceX spaceship next year.<\/p>\n
SpaceX will send Maezawa, along with K-Pop star TOP and American DJ Steve Aoki, on a week-long trip to the moon and back in 2023 although a date has not yet been announced. Maezawa has dubbed the project #dearMoon.<\/p>\n
While the dearMoon crew will not step foot on the moon, the members will orbit around the moon before returning back to earth.<\/p>\n
“I can’t miss this opportunity,” said Aoki in a video released by dearMoon on Thursday. “My soul is begging for this.”<\/p>\n
