SpaceX is sending one lucky passenger on a trip around the moon in its Big Falcon Rocket (BFR), also known as Big F*cking Rocket.
We won't know who the mystery moon passenger is until Monday, but we know they're likely very, very rich. Or wait – do we know who it is?
Elon Musk has denied that he's the one going up. Either that or the Japan flag emoji is Musk-ish for 'yes.'
What's more likely is the space tourist in question is Japanese. Sorry America.
As for the vessel, the BFR is a reusable rocket that reportedly cost $10 billion. Musk has stated SpaceX is putting all its resources towards BFR, which is expected to be the rocket that takes humans to Mars.
It'll be interesting to see who the tourist is and what kind of publicity they'll get in advance of the launch. If I were them I'd be just as stoked as I was scared sh*tless. Probably leaning towards the scared sh*tless part.
