[/quote] I Love Yusaku Maezawa. Him and his assistant Yozo Hirano spent a whole week documenting life on the International Space Station. A Hero of Russia flew them on a Soyuz up to the ISS. It took less than 6 hours from launch in Baikonur to the ISS. My contact at the Space Center there got me signed cards and first day covers signed by the three on the flight. I also have an official hoodie and tee shirt from the mission to the ISS. I knew about the Dear Moon project for quite some time. He owns a Dassault Falcon 8X (the same as Ila Mask) all upholstered by the French fashion design Hermès. I am a Maezawa Meag Fan. He is so humble despite his Billions. He is a fashion distributor genius. I would have gone to Baikonur to see them off if not for that stupid virus. :peace: [/quote]

Japanese billionaire unveils the 8 artists he'll fly to the moon on SpaceX's Starship dearMoon flight
The creator of 'Everyday Astronaut' is among the eight.
Yusaku Maezawa, who made his fortune as an online fashion retailer, announced the eight people who would be flying with him on the dearMoon mission, which aims to use a SpaceX Starship to fly around the moon as soon as next year.
"I hope each and every one will recognize the responsibility that comes with leaving the Earth, travelling to the moon and back," Maezawa says in the video in Japanese, with a translation provided in-video.
The previously-announced 2023 launch date may push back substantially, however, as Starship has not yet been approved for an orbital journey around Earth, let alone a flight to the moon.
