SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is sending to paying customers on a flight around the moon in late 2018 but they won't exactly be Neil Armstrong because they are gonna set foot on the lunar surface his plan is to send the two private citizens on the crew Dragon spacecraft it will launch from Earth with a falcon heavy rocket the launch will take place along the same path as Apollo 8 and from the same launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center almost 50 years later must compare the two mystery citizens to the Apollo astronauts before they launched the unnamed space tourists will go through some initial health and fitness tests and then their training will begin later this year the names have yet to be disclosed but they have already put down a quote of significance deposits we don't know how much they paid or how much the overall cost of the trip will be and must also said that this will be the first but probably not the last time that SpaceX will send regular people into space others have already shown interest in the proposal recently SpaceX has had a few setbacks including trouble docking at the International Space Station and a September 2016 rocket explosion on a launch pad hopefully with space tourists Houston won't have a problem
