Japanese billionaire moon flight canceled this Indian actor was also supposed to go

Yusaku Maezawa Moon Flight: In the year 2022, Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa had announced that he will fly to the moon along with 8 artists from the world. An Indian actor’s name was also included in that flight. Now it is being told that that flight to the moon will not happen. According to the report, Maezawa had booked a private trip around the Moon aboard the Starship megarocket of American space company SpaceX in 2018. This project has been cancelled. The name of the project was dearMoon.

The main reason for the cancellation of the journey is being said to be the Starship rocket, which is not yet ready for flight. Starship is the world’s heaviest rocket, which is being built by Elon Musk’s space company. This rocket has gone through many flight tests, but is not ready yet. It is to be tested again in the next few weeks.

Regarding the dearMoon project cancellation.
I signed the contract in 2018 based on the assumption that dearMoon would launch by the end of 2023.
It’s a developmental project so it is what it is, but it is still uncertain as to when Starship can launch.
