Japanese billionaire picked a K-pop rapper, space YouTuber, and commercial DJ to go on a trip around the Moon for a private SpaceX flight.

After a global search for creative people the Japanese businessman Yusaku Maezawa, on Friday revealed his crew for the mission. The flight which has been scheduled for next year will have on board, Korean star TOP, and American DJ Steve Aoki. And after 1972 this could be the first lunar journey by a human.

This trip will take 8 days in total and the spacecraft will circle the moon from within 200km of the surface. The crew is supposed to travel in a starship rocket from the SpaceX company of Elon Musk but the US regulatory has not yet provided the permission. After the completion of its test launch, in 2021, the spacecraft has been grounded and it is not even approved for the orbital journey around our planet.  

Mr. Maezawa has been prominently involved in commercial space travel and he was also named the first private passenger to be flown around the moon by SpaceX. In 2018 he said that he would also sponsor eight other passengers on board, thus, he revealed those eight passengers now.
