To the moon, SpaceX!

Whoopie!   (Fair Use)

Sure there was Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, but what about you and me?  When do we get a crack at the moon?

According to Elon Musk, in the not-too-distant future.  Soon “everyday people” (at least those with millions in their back pockets) will be flying around our cheesy neighbor, courtesy of SpaceX. 

The plans to do so via a Crew Dragon capsule are now on the back shelf, in deference to a new BFR system.  The BFR, “successor to the… Falcon 9 rocket and the Falcon Heavy,” is in the process of being built.  In just a few more years, pioneer passengers should be waving to those still trapped by Earth’s gravity.
