Kluger: are you frustrated, annoyed, angry that there’s been no one on the moon since you? Harrison Schmitt: all of the above. I realized in 1972 there was going to be a hiatus after Apollo 17, but didn’t think it would be 50 years. #ApolloPlus50

Congrats, @yousuck2020! You should link up w/ @astrowright for a preflight fitness plan before you ring Luna, & if you ever become inspired to have an internationally-accomplished jazz trombonist (who is also a planetary scientist) join your merry crew, I’m all yours in 2023! 🚀
The first private passenger to fly around the Moon aboard BFR is fashion innovator and globally recognized art curator Yusaku Maezawa.
