At the press conference, Maezawa said that he plans to bring along with six to eight not-yet-selected artists artists from different disciplines for the BFR lunar mission, which could include painters, film directors, fashion designers, and musicians. (Did we hear Grimes? Azealia Banks?) Beaming before the audience, Maezawa echoed the famous words of John F. Kennedy and declared, “I choose to go to the moon,” and announced that he has officially dubbed the BFR lunar mission “Dear Moon Project.”
