SpaceX Starship dearMoon crew chosen! | What is the dearMoon Project | Why did STEM community get triggered??!

On this episode, we take some time to discuss the annoucement surround dearMoon as we now know the crew selection! These are exciting times for the abundant opportunities for civilians to go to Space. These are also dark and complex times, and some of the online STEM community offered criticism and comparisons to Mars One. To me, summoning the Mars One mission is like awarding someone the Darwin Award - for extreme cases only, and not to be given out lightly. Let's crack down this confusingly human response by discussing WHAT the dearMoon mission is and WHY its happening. We'll then discuss WHO the lucky chosen 8 were to join Yusaku Maezawa around the Moon and back. And we will close with our collectiong of criticism, outrageous and justified. I will even share my thoughts on how I felt hearing that 8 people (one of which being a famous space content creator) are officially going to the moon! This is a great mission and these 9 crew members will have the journey of a lifetime! Our mission is to spread love and spread science - and that's where this podcast comes from! Let's be the best version of ourselves and fight through the challenges together - there is enough room in the universe for all of us. Much love to each and every one of you!
