SpaceX Says It Signed First Private Passenger To the Moon (nbcnewyork.com)

SpaceX announced Thursday that it's booked the world's first private passenger to the moon. The private aerospace company said on Twitter the unnamed traveler would board its Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) to the moon, where only 24 people have ever traveled. Only 12 of those people actually walked on the moon. NBC New York reports: SpaceX didn't reveal any details about the potentially historic voyage but said it plans to reveal the traveler's identity and more on Monday, Sept. 17. The company called the plan "an important step toward enabling access for everyday people who dream of traveling to space." Musk shared the announcement on his personal page but remained tight-lipped as well. However, when asked if the passenger was him, Musk responded with an emoji of the Japanese flag.

Modded down the lie telling troll. I just picked up a brand new Tesla Model 3. Painless order and delivery process, very smooth, everything transparent.

The car drives and handles beautifully. Charging is painless. Never buying gas is the best part. Other benefits:

No oil changes
No air filter
No timing belt
No starter
No alternator
No spark plugs
No clutch
No transmission
No exhaust system/catalytic converter/muffler to rust
Most braking is regenerative - shouldn't need brakes for a _long_ time
Amazing acceleration and handling
