JAKARTA - In 2018, a billionaire from Japan, Yusaku Maezawa, booked a tour ticket to the moon offered by SpaceX. Using the Big Falcon Rocket plane, Yusaku is scheduled to leave in 2023.

The 44 year old man did not go alone. The reason is, Yusaku has bought all the passenger seats heading to the moon. And currently, Yusaku is looking for eight traveling companions who will accompany him on a vacation to the moon.

Through his personal Twitter account, the founder of Zozotown stated that he was looking for a travel partner. What made an uproar was that anyone had the right to register and join the trip to the Moon without a penny. Yes, it's free!

It's just that, there are several requirements that must be met. In addition, each applicant must follow a selection process that has been designed.

Now, you can register via the dearMoon site. It's just that, registration will close on October 14. Then, it will be followed by a selection process.

Tight Selection, Quite Heavy Requirements

It is not surprising that Yusaku is looking for the most suitable candidate. Therefore, Yusaku also set a fairly strict selection step. So that he can get the best partner on the way to the moon.

Launching Endgadget, Yusaku initially expressed his interest in being accompanied by artists. In accordance with his interests in the art world and as a collector. In fact, Yusaku is also one of the initiators of the Tokyo Contemporary Art Foundation.

However, quoting the information listed on the dearMoon website, Yusaku set two additional conditions for becoming a travel partner. First, so that this trip can have an impact on a person's efforts in developing his community.

"Second, so that prospective travel companions are able and willing to cooperate with other crews in realizing their ambitions," wrote a statement to dearMoon.

The travel crew selection process takes place in five stages. Starting from the pre-registration process which will be closed on March 14. Then, the process will continue at the initial screening, which will take place on March 21.

The other three processes consist of completing assignments, online interviews, then ending the final interview and medical check-up on May 21st. Interested in trying? Just register via the dearMoon site. Click here so that you will be directed directly to the site.
