A Japanese fashion tycoon has put out a call for eight people from across the globe to join him on a private expedition to the moon.

Billionaire Yusaku Maezawa paid an unknown sum of money in 2018 for seats on the lunar spaceship being developed by SpaceX, which is expected to launch in 2023 at the very earliest. If successful, the trip will be the first made to the moon since the last US Apollo mission in 1972.
