Elon Musk's SpaceX company says they will reveal the identity and motivation of the space tourist they are planning to send on a trip around the moon.
The date of the announcement was revealed on Twitter today to be Tuesday for New Zealand audiences.
"SpaceX has signed the world's first private passenger to fly around the Moon aboard our BFR launch vehicle—an important step toward enabling access for everyday people who dream of traveling to space," the tweet said.
"Find out who's flying and why on Monday, September 17."
Nine News reports that the Big Falcon Rocket (BFR), is SpaceX's forthcoming spaceship system that consists of two parts: A massive rocket booster that promises to out-power any ever built, and a towering spacecraft that will vault out of the Earth's atmosphere.
