Editing Dennis Tito (section)

= Where is Dennis Tito now? =

As of October of 2022, Tito has announced he plans to return to space to travel to the moon at age 82. He and his wife, Akiko, have been planning to travel for one-week on SpaceX's Starship spacecraft. He is quoted to have said to SpaceX: "'I would be interested in going to the moon'" (Kluger 2022). He looks over to his wife who says, "'Yeah, me too'". This appears to be Tito's last space endeavor. He has not publicly said how much this endeavor would cost him.  Dennis Tito claims he has been planning this trip for about 20 years, however. If this is true, this means he has been planning his second space trip ever since his first one.  This flight will be a roughly week long journey and be a flight around the moon with approximately 10 other passengers.  It has not been stated whether or not the other passengers have been chosen or not.

He is surprisingly not the first billionaire to make this "reservation" for a flight around the moon, Yusaku Maezawa, a Japanese fashion tycoon announced in 2018 that he would be buying an entire flight, meaning he could take about eight others as well.
