        "about to fly to the moon" about in maybe 2023 ..."The launch relies on a rocket yet to be built and Mr Musk himself said it was not "100% certain we can bring this to flight". Great reporting.

        Sometimes some of the richest people are selfish & insensitive.Should have thought of spending his wealth on the poorest in Africa instead of expecting thousands of likes in his FB or IG😃

        Is his money he can spend it the way he likes . Besides, Africa has Billionaires too , some of them are Religious people . Why can't they help out. Must a stranger from Japan and other countries always give them handouts ?

        It would be an amazing experience just to leave the Earth and look back at it and see it just floating there, doing a lap of the moon and returning. I'm not surprised the billionaire wants to experience that, who wouldn't. Only a tiny minority of humans have ever done that in 🔙

        Not that anyone including the Jap Billionaire believe that Musk's Spacecraft would be ready anywhere close to when he claims The Billionare and Musk are riding off each others back for free publicity😁😁

        Maybe he should invite a flat earther/conspiracy theorist on the flight ( assuming they have the guts to put where their mouths are! )
