People in the US who don't have housing, healthcare, can't afford education, or childcare can be uplifted by this fantastic human interest story of billionaires taking a trip around the moon.

He could have looked more charitable, by asking me, so I could have said no thank you. 🙂

Or he could do something meaningful for our planet with all the money and precious natural resources it would take to get them to the moon. Pathetic.

Blah.. Nobody going to the moon,they'll find a reason to cancel it

When will you report on TwitterGate

Please send your many to the homeless and the starving children around the world. You could build a store in Ethiopia. Why blow it on the moon?

Why

ABC News doesn't want their viewers to know about the Twitter Files, and has continuously refused to cover it! which implies that they were in on the whole cover-up and suppression of the truth

🐱hello

Take care.

Out of this World - SpaceX to the Moon and back Fantastic.....

I saw this before and ran through the list. What a waste. We could be sending scientists, students, engineers, etc. Instead he picked celebrities.

Why are civilians esp billionaires going to the moon

How about using that money to end world hunger instead?

Not going to happen. Hope he gets his refund back.

He trusts Elon Musk to get him and 8 others to the moon and back on the first try

Good journey to them.

Give me

how about considering an overworked healthcare professional? It might make up for all those worked -thru lunches with an unrelieved full bladder days

Will they be trained on what to do if they find aliens?
