Prove Starship is capable of moon orbiting with humans aboard... Before gateway?
How far off the schedule is this project? When will humans orbit the moon again?

NASA was not relying on a Japanese billionaire's joyride for their moon landing plans. I saw another article that said part of the reason this got cancelled is NASA took priority for the starship project.
He made his billions from Zozo. Wonder why so many of these types of stores make it big in Asia.
Aww. I bet Tim is bummed.
