[New] Billionaire Funds Space Tourism

The dearMoon Mission is intended to be the first lunar tourism mission in history, and Maezawa (the eccentric billionaire funding the mission) has stated that he wants to bring artists, musicians, and other creative individuals with him on the journey to inspire them to create works about the experience. Maezawa himself is an art collector and hopes that the experience of traveling to the Moon will be a source of inspiration for the creative individuals he plans to bring with him. The mission is currently slated for 2023, and the group of artists have already been announced for the trip. The most notable passenger is Steve Aoki, an American DJ who just recently toured across the world, and even did a show in the West Edmonton Mall.

The spacecraft for the mission will be supplied by SpaceX, utilizing their Crew Dragon rocket, a reusable spacecraft designed to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station. The Crew Dragon will be launched atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, which is a heavy-lift launch vehicle that is capable of launching payloads of up to 63,800 kg (140,660 lbs) into orbit.

The Crew Dragon spacecraft is equipped with a number of features to ensure the safety and comfort of the crew during the mission. These features include life support systems, a pressurized cabin, and windows that provide a view of the surrounding space. The spacecraft also has a hatch that can be opened to allow the crew to conduct spacewalks, if necessary.

The mission will last for about a week, and the Crew Dragon spacecraft will orbit the moon several times before returning to Earth. During the mission, the crew will have the opportunity to conduct a variety of scientific experiments and take part in a number of cultural and artistic activities.
