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, the BBC reports.
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.
The proposed fly-by would see a spacecraft circle the moon, coming within 200km (124 miles) of the surface. The trip would take eight days from launch to return.
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.
