First Private Passenger on Lunar BFR Mission

Hologram

Veteran XX


SpaceX has signed the world’s first private passenger to fly around the Moon aboard our BFR launch vehicle - an important step toward enabling access for everyday people who dream of traveling to space. Only 24 humans have been to the Moon in history. No one has visited since the last Apollo mission in 1972. Find out who’s flying and why on Monday, September 17 at 6pm PT.

That would be more difficult than just doing the actual burn.

Getting to the moon isn't anything special, beyond just building a big ass rocket with the delta-v to get there. You burn long enough in the right direction and you're there (and back)

true.. but with sim you can add special bonus DLC like lunar alien invasion. that will really boost the ticket value for future would be travelers
 
is there anything cringer than calling it big faggot rocket

some guys I worked with wanted to call our new ui ns for not shit and I had to explain to them that sometimes things that make you chuckle for 5 or 6 seconds aren't worth committing to for years

Meh. 70k feet would be high enough for me. Seems like a lot of work for the person who goes up.


Here's the guy who is going

So... what is the difference between an astronaut and a tourist...

If you're just a passenger, are you expected to know everything an astronaut would normally have to know? Like how to fly a spacecraft? Or are you just human cargo?
