Japanese fashion mogul Yusaku Maezawa, who first announced his intention in 2018 to take a group of artists with him on a six-day trip around the Moon, said Tuesday that he's inviting the public to apply to fill eight open seats on the mission now slated to take off in 2023.
Maezawa also said that he's decided to expand his definition of an "artist," which he initially defined as singers, dancers, painters and other traditional creative fields. Now, he's open to including people from all walks of life as long as they view themselves as artists, Maezawa said in a video announcement Tuesday.
