Elon Musk’s SpaceX on Thursday announced that it has signed up the world’s first private passenger to fly around the moon and created a suspense by saying that further details will be released on Monday.
The individual will fly to the moon on the Big Falcon Rocket launch vehicle, which has been exclusively designed to carry tourists around the moon.
The company broke the news on its Twitter handle.

Only 24 humans have been to the Moon in history. No one has visited since the last Apollo mission in 1972. https://t.co/gtC39uBC7z

The tweet has left many questions unanswered including the date of the journey and whether the passenger has paid for the trip. The company may provide the answers on Monday.
