  • SpaceX’s First Moon Tourist Is Looking For Love

    Yusaku Maezawa will be SpaceX’s first paying passenger on a trip around the moon.

    Sadly for the 44-year-old Japanese billionaire (pictured above with Elon Musk, the ‘dad dancer’), who made his fortune through an online fashion empire called Zozo Inc, he fears he will have nobody special to share it with.

    The mission is due to take place in 2023, which gives Yusaku some time, but he’s not taking any chances, and has now launched an online appeal to find a female “life partner” to join him on the voyage.

    It appears as though the process of finding his “life partner” will form part of a documentary.

    Here’s the BBC:

    …Mr Maezawa says he wants to share the experience with a “special” woman.

    The entrepreneur, who recently split up from actress girlfriend Ayame Goriki, 27, has asked women to apply for a “planned match-making event” on his website.

    “As feelings of loneliness and emptiness slowly begin to surge upon me, there’s one thing that I think about: Continuing to love one woman,” Mr Maezawa wrote on the website.

    “I want to find a ‘life partner’,” Mr Maezawa added. “With that future partner of mine, I want to shout our love and world peace from outer space.”

    World peace, you say? He might want to start by looking at the women who compete for the Miss World / Miss Universe title.

    If you pop past that website referenced in the tweet above, things get even stranger.

    Here are the boxes the woman must tick:

    Again with the ‘world peace’ angle.

    Also, he’s only giving himself two-and-a-half months to make the decision? Seems hasty.

    It isn’t known how much Yusaku, who is believed to be worth around $3 billion (roughly R43 billion), paid to secure his ticket to space, although Elon Musk has simply said it was “a lot of money”.

    Whoever Yusake chooses as the ‘lucky’ lady to accompany him to the moon, she better be OK with having a few third wheels. More from the Guardian:

    When Musk introduced him as the first person to sign up for the SpaceX project in September 2018, Maezawa said he wanted at least half a dozen artists from around the world to join him.

    “They will be asked to create something after they return to Earth,” he said. “These masterpieces will inspire the dreamer within all of us.”

    Maybe they can create something that fosters world peace.

    Did Yusake mention he’s really into world peace?

    Best of luck to all of the women who enter this quest for love, which still seems like a better idea than entering the Love Island villa.
