Private passenger to fly around the moon.

SpaceX has reported via Twitter that they have signed the world’s first private passenger to fly around the Moon aboard their BFR launch vehicle.  This is a big step in the right direction for commercial manned space flights.  We’ll find out who’d flying and why on Tuesday 18th September (17th in the USA).

Only 24 humans have been to the Moon in history. No one has visited since the last Apollo mission in 1972
