Elon Musk-led space exploration startup SpaceX has announced it will send two paying passengers on a weeklong trip around Moon next year. The passengers will be flown to space in a Dragon 2 spaceship, launched by SpaceX’s in-design Falcon Heavy rocket. The two people will begin training for space this year and will need to clear certain health tests.
