The world learned the name of the first tourist who will fly around the moon. Yusaka Maedzava is a forty-three-year-old Japanese billionaire, the owner of the largest online store of clothes to order, the founder of a charity fund for contemporary art... The businessman and philanthropist is going to conquer the cosmos together with fellow travellers representing creative professions: artists, musicians, fashion designers, directors, and architects... Maezawa hopes that after returning to Earth they will create new works based on impressions of a planetary scale. The Japanese billionaire has bought 8 places aboard the Big Falcon. The cost of the tickets is not known, but Ilon Mask the "SpaceX" owner, who oversees the project, stressed that the proceeds will help to speed up the work considerably.

Meanwhile, specialists of the largest scientific astrophysical centers continue to study video recordings of the "bloody eclipse" that took place on July 27 this year. A Roman astronomer managed to shoot 38 unusual objects flying in close proximity to the Moon. The speed of their movement greatly exceeded the capabilities of modern aircraft. Examination confirmed the authenticity of the footage, and there were no officially known artificial satellites, asteroids, other spaceships between Earth and the Moon at that time.
