Yusaku Maezawa’s favorite song these days has to be Fly me to the moon, instead he’s the one who flies others to the moon. Yes, you read that right. Yusaku Maezawa, a Japanese entrepreneur, gives artists from all over the world a free trip to the moon.
Yusaku Maezawa invited eight people to join him on his trip to DearMoon. The “DearMoon” mission, planned for 2023, would be the first human journey to the moon since 1972, Apollo-17. Maezawa bought all of the first lunar tourism mission tickets for you to make it a private trip.
