Ever dreamt of a trip to the moon? Now s your chance to make it a reality. The dearMoon project led by Japanese billionaire, Yusaku Maezawa, is opening a worldwide application process for eight civilians to join a week-long lunar expedition on SpaceX s Starship in 2023. The private mission is funded entirely by Maezawa who also purchased all the seats abroad the spacecraft due to his curiosity and desire to see and appreciate Earth from afar . I began to think, every single person who is doing something creative with their lives, aren t they all artists? In that sense, I wanted my invitation to reach out to a broader community and give more people from around the globe the chance to join this journey. If you see yourself as an artist, then you are an artist, says Maezawa during a video announcement of the application process.
