  1. Few folks know, but I was preliminarily selected for the #DearMoon mission to circle the Moon on a Starship.

    Ultimately, I wasn't selected, but was advised I was a standby candidate.

    It became clear that Elon was full of shit and the mission was cancelled.

    I remember walking past the old power plant in the #yeg river valley, looking up, and seeing the Moon. At the time, I thought I might get up close and personal with our stony sentinel. It nearly took me to my knees.

  2. Man I love being proven right. Somehow just now learning the #dearMoon SpaceX flight around the moon got cancelled a few months ago.

    Particularly extreme schadenfreude for the Musk sycophant “creators” that he gave a seat to.

    lmao

  3. I just learned that #Dearmoon got cancelled and that got me sad :(

  4. Der japanische Milliardär Yusaku Maezawa wollte an Bord des #Starship von #SpaceX zum Mond fliegen. Doch jetzt sagte er das #dearMoon genannte Projekt ab, weil es zu viele Verzögerungen gibt. winfuture.de/news,143200.html?

  6. "Japanese Billionaire Calls Off His Starship Trip Around the Moon" by @cosmiclog / @alanboyle - More detail on #DearMoon cancellation. Officially it was to not make the guests wait indefinitely for #SpaceX #Starship. But reactions show they would have waited. cosmiclog.com/2024/06/01/japan

  7. Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa's decision to cancel his plan for a trip around the #moon in a #SpaceX #Starship super-rocket has left a lot of his #dearMoon crewmates disappointed and hurt. cosmiclog.com/2024/06/01/japan #Space

  8. Privately-funded #DearMoon lunar space flight cancelled due to #SpaceX #Starship development delays. It was odd how a billionaire funded the flight with a crew of artists. Their #space dreams are now dashed. Article by @arstechnica /@SciGuySpace: arstechnica.com/space/2024/06/ #NewSpace

  10. Dear Moon — миссия, спонсируемая японским миллиардером Юсаку Маэзава и заключавшаяся в полёте вокруг Луны с экипажем из самого миллиардера и несколько творческих людей (в том числе Everyday Astronaut) на корабле Starship — отменена.
    О миссии было объявлено в 2018 году, назначена она была на 2023 год. Из-за неготовности Starship к сроку Юсака Маэзава объявил об отмене миссии.

  13. It's too bad they couldn't just postpone it. 😔

    "It is unfortunate to be announcing that 'dearMoon', the first private circum-lunar flight project, will be cancelled. We thank everyone who has supported us and apologize to those who have looked forward to this project."

  17. Some #quotes are so apposite, they feel like glittering gifts from the Universe:

    “What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?” ~ Thomas Merton

    From this excellent piece by Fred Bahnson in #EmergenceMagazine:

  18. Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't #dearMoon need to be refuelled in LEO to get to the moon?

    Δv needed: ~7-8km/s to LEO then ~3km/s for free-return lunar transfer.

  19. @spaceflight You know, Tim swore repeatedly that he didn’t WANT to go to space. And now this. Personally, I think this is a particular opportunity I would have given a a pass. Now, on the other hand, if Jared Isaacman wanted me on a crew, I’d be all up in that in an instant. #dearMoon
