Win a Free Trip to the Moon

A Japanese billionaire announces a contest for a free trip around the moon on a SpaceX rocket.

If you’re interested, you can apply on DearMoon.earth through March 14.

Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa says he’s looking for eight creative people to join him on a trip around the moon in a SpaceX rocket and he is paying! Maezawa released a video to encourage people to apply to be one of his guests on the flight called “Dear Moon.”

The CEO of SpaceX, Elon Musk, adds this will be a historic event. “What’s really significant about the Dear Moon mission is it will be the first private space flight, commercial space flight, with humans beyond Earth’s orbit.” Musk says it looks as if the systems should be ready for launch in 2023.
