## Fly Me to the Moon

A Japanese video streaming website is putting a space-age twist on the matchmaking competition genre.

AbemaTV's new documentary "Full Moon Lovers" will follow [Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa](<https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51086635>) as he hunts for that special someone — who will then join him on a SpaceX trip around the Moon in 2023.

"I want to find a 'life partner'," Maesawa wrote on the show's [website](<https://mz.abema.tv/en.html>). "With that future partner of mine, I want to shout our love and world peace from outer space."

## Round Trip

In September 2018, SpaceX [announced](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/spacex-moon-bfr-passenger>) that Maezawa would be its first commercial passenger on a trip around the Moon.

At the time, Maezawa said he planned to bring 6 to 8 artists along for the 2023 journey. Now, though, it seems that at least one of those spots will go to the lady he finds through the "Full Moon Lovers" documentary.

## Relationship Moonshot

The documentary is accepting [applications](<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScR1LzJw4LDzs6qLanGAjc0UTI_MdVBIXMiU3Ajd_tnX7b0MQ/viewform>) for participants until January 17. An untold number will then go on "matchmaking dates" with Maezawa in mid-February, which could lead to a "special date" in mid-March. Maezawa will make his final decision by the end of March.

As for who's eligible to win the once in a lifetime trip — and, presumably, Maesawa's heart — the show is only looking for single women above the age of 20 who have bright personalities, are always positive, and, of course, want to go to space.
