一群藝術(shù)家、運(yùn)動(dòng)員和藝人,包括DJ史蒂夫·青木(Steve Aoki),將最快將于明年與日本億萬(wàn)富翁前澤友作(Yusaku Maezawa)一起乘坐SpaceX公司的私人飛船繞月飛行。
前澤友作周四在網(wǎng)上發(fā)布的一段視頻中宣布了這支另類(lèi)團(tuán)隊(duì)成員。他去年表示,希望成員組成能夠覆蓋“各種背景的人”。成員包括韓國(guó)說(shuō)唱歌手崔勝鉉 (T.O.P)、油管航天視頻博主蒂姆·多德(Tim Dodd)、演員戴夫·喬西(Dev Joshi)和攝影師卡里姆·西利亞(Karim Iliya),以及單板滑雪運(yùn)動(dòng)員凱特琳·法林頓(Kaitlyn Farrington)和舞者米玉(Miyu)作為候補(bǔ)成員。
2018年,前澤友作預(yù)訂了SpaceX下一代最強(qiáng)大的運(yùn)載火箭——后來(lái)被稱(chēng)為星際飛船的飛行任務(wù)。這位在線時(shí)尚零售商Zozo Inc.的創(chuàng)始人兼前首席執(zhí)行官將這個(gè)項(xiàng)目稱(chēng)為“親愛(ài)的月球”,并在去年向希望加入他的繞月任務(wù)的人征集視頻申請(qǐng)。
雖然SpaceX公司表示,這次飛行最早可能在明年舉行,但星際飛船的開(kāi)發(fā)進(jìn)度仍落后于計(jì)劃,尚未進(jìn)入軌道。SpaceX的正式名稱(chēng)是太空探索技術(shù)公司(Space Exploration Technologies Corp.),該公司近期計(jì)劃最早在12月進(jìn)行火箭的首次軌道試飛。
前澤友作之前已經(jīng)去過(guò)太空。2021年12月,在與一家名為太空冒險(xiǎn)(Space Adventures)的太空旅游公司合作后,這位億萬(wàn)富翁乘坐俄羅斯“聯(lián)盟號(hào)”飛船飛往國(guó)際空間站。他在國(guó)際空間站住了不到兩周時(shí)間。 (財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

A group of artists, athletes and entertainers, including DJ Steve Aoki, are slated to join Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa on a private SpaceX flight around the moon as soon as next year.
The unorthodox crew was announced in a video posted online Thursday by Maezawa, who said last year that he wanted to include “people from all kinds of backgrounds.” The group also includes South Korean rapper T.O.P, space YouTuber Tim Dodd, actor Dev Joshi and photographer Karim Iliya, along with snowboarder Kaitlyn Farrington and dancer Miyu as backups.
Maezawa in 2018 put down a deposit for a flight on what would later be known as Starship, SpaceX’s most powerful next-generation launch vehicle. The founder and former chief executive of online fashion retailer Zozo Inc. dubbed the project “dearMoon,” and last year solicited video applications from hopefuls seeking to join him on the round-the-moon mission.
While SpaceX said the flight could be held as early as next year, Starship remains behind schedule and has yet to launch to orbit. SpaceX, whose formal name is Space Exploration Technologies Corp., had recently targeted as early as December for the vehicle’s first test flight to orbit.
Maezawa has already been to space. In December 2021, the billionaire flew to the International Space Station on a Russian Soyuz rocket, after coordinating with a space tourism company called Space Adventures. He lived on the ISS for a little less than two weeks.
