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.

What he has achieved with Tesla and SpaceX is nothing short of ... frankly, unbelievable. Before Tesla, there was no electric car marketplace. Now there is, and there's even competition.

And SpaceX is the #1 private space company in the world. Maybe #1 overall.

And now the Boring Company is making some important strides, too.

If anyone can bring (back) men to the moon, it's Mr. Musk,

You mean the same marketplace that would have been made by companies such as GM, who crushed their own electric cars so that nobody could buy them?
