With SpaceX CEO Elon Musk at his side in September 2018, Yusaku Maezawa announced he'd be the first Starship passenger on a flight around the moon.

Yusaku Maezawa plans to sell a 30% stake in his online fashion retail company, Zozo, to Yahoo Japan. As part of the $3.7 billion tender offer, Maezawa will resign take home $2.3 billion. During a press conference, Maezawa reportedly said one of his main reasons for departing Zozo is to make time to train for a 2023 voyage around the moon with Starship: a new rocket system planned by SpaceX.
