Japanese Billionaire Looking For Single Woman To Go To The Moon With Him On Spacex Rocket
Women interested in applying should be “single women aged 20 or over,” with “bright personality and always positive,” who are “interested in going into space and able to participate in the preparation for it,” who also “want to enjoy life to the fullest,” and this woman should also “be someone who wishes for world peace.” Maezawa made his fortune through online fashion company Zozo, which he sold in 2019 for $3.1 billion. The 44-year-old also posted a personal essay of sorts that read in part: It may be too late to apply to be Maezawa’s “honey” on this trip to the moon. Applications were due by today, January 17. But there is still time. Maezawa will select the women who advance to dates with him, which will happen in February and March. The lucky lady will be chosen at the end of March. Maezawa is scheduled to fly on SpaceX’s Starship vehicle. Starship is currently in development at SpaceX. It is a large spacecraft designed to fly on a rocket and take up to 100 people into space with trips to the Moon and Mars. Maezawa’s flight would be the inaugural one. It is called “Dear Moon” and is scheduled to take a flight around the Moon and then return to Earth in 2023. If successful, this would mark the first time humans have gone to the moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Originally Maezawa planned to invite six to eight artists to go to the moon with him. It appears he’s had a change of heart.
