SpaceX will fly tourists around the moon
SpaceX will fly tourists around the moon with its Big Falcon Rocket (BFR). The company says it will announce on Monday who will be the first to fly around the moon. There is also a new design for the BFR.
SpaceX says to announce more on Monday about who will be flying around the moon in the BFR and why. That happens in a live stream that is already online, but will only start in three days. It is unknown when the private passenger in the BFR will fly around the moon. So far, SpaceX has only said it wanted to take tourists into space, but that would involve flights close to Earth.
The render that SpaceX publishes in the tweet is also of a new design of the BFR. According to tweaker mikee368, there seems to be a large cockpit in front. In addition, there is only one type of motor on this design, instead of the two types of motors on the previous design. SpaceX will probably also announce more about the new design for its rocket on Monday.
