The launch of the first privately funded tourist flight beyond the orbit of the International Space Station is tentatively targeted for late 2018
The journey will circumnavigate the Moon in the first “human mission” since the Apollo 17 launch in 1972.
It’s not being revealed who the customers are or how much they will pay to fly on the week-long mission but apparently not from Hollywood.
