"SpaceX has pre-sold a moon orbit tourist flight to a Japanese billionaire. This was likely for $500 to $800 million."

There aren't many people with that kind of money out there, who can be hoodwinked into giving away that much money to a shyster... I feel for this dude and his family. The question is... When this 'moon orbit' never transpires and he realizes that he's been taken for the better part of a billion dollars, will a trip to Disney World suffice?

Because a trip to Space Mountain is as close as this dude will ever get to orbiting the moon.

Didn’t he “buy” an earlier flight that never materialized?

And this trip is for a group rate, not a single passenger.

So far he's built a successful launch business, including building the booster from scratch, while you've done nothing of the kind. He's building cars that run on batteries and sell for premium prices, and been so good at that the subsidies are phasing out (as originally planned), while you've snarked on the internet.
