Eight people will accompany the billionaire on this mission

TOKYO, January 7. /tass/. Japanese billionaire entrepreneur Yusaku Maezawa, who is going to fly to the Moon in 2023 as a space tourist of the American company SpaceX, will soon complete the selection of eight people who will accompany him on this mission.

"About a year has passed since the beginning of the collection of questionnaires, and about 1 million people from all over the world have responded to my offer. We are now in the final stage of selecting candidates and intend to submit a final list of those who have passed the selection process at the beginning of this year. I can say that it will really be people from all over the world who have never been in space, but are very interested in it," he said at a press conference in Tokyo on Friday.

46-year-old Maezawa was selected as SpaceX's first space tourist in 2018. He bought all the seats on the ship that will go to the moon. In total, 10-12 people should go on the flight, including Maezawa and the people selected by him.

Maezawa is the founder and head of the Zozo website, through which you can order fashionable clothes made to individual standards. In addition, he is one of the wealthiest citizens of Japan. According to Forbes magazine, its capital is about $ 3 billion.

In December last year, Maezawa visited the ISS, where he was taken on the Russian manned spacecraft Soyuz MS-20.
