SpaceX moon flight to include DJ, YouTuber and K-pop rapper

[Still Waters]

A commercial DJ, K-pop rapper, and a space YouTuber are to go on a trip around the Moon, after they were picked by a Japanese billionaire for a private SpaceX flight.

Businessman Yusaku Maezawa revealed his crew on Friday after a global search for creative individuals last year.

American DJ Steve Aoki and Korean star TOP are the most high-profile picks.

The flight, scheduled for next year, could be the first lunar journey by humans since 1972.

However, US regulators are yet to give permission for the Starship rocket from Elon Musk's SpaceX company that the crew is supposed to travel on.

It won't surprise me if they impede his efforts at Space-X as payback for his moves at Twitter.  I'm SICK of the corruption in DC.  I wish an asteroid would take the place out and leave nothing but a smoking hole...

Elon Musk does and says a lot of outrageous stuff.

He’s spontaneous and unpredictable.

High risk.

And he makes a lot of promises he doesn’t keep.

Vapourware etc.

I wouldn’t want to be on his first flight around the moon…

They should have brought Monty Python too.

Hopefully it's a ruse and they're actually on the return trip to Mars.

He should include Harry and Meghan and drop them off.

Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke...

"A DJ, a K-Pop singer and a youtuber went into space..."

Anyone know the punchline?

Or maybe that is both the premise and the punchline?

Has anyone told them that there is no drinking alcohol on the flight?  They may change their mind.
