I read this story about SpaceX:
"Yusaku Maezawa, the first paying passenger to book a trip aboard SpaceX's (still in development) Starship spacecraft around the moon, has provided a promised update about his mission. It's still aiming for 2023 for a flight date, and the plan is still to fly a week-long trip around the moon and back. Now, however, Maezawa is looking for crewmates. The full passenger list will include 10 to 12 crew members, Maezawa said in a video about the announcement, but eight will be selected from the general public.
Back when the mission was first announced in 2018, Maezawa said that he wanted to bring between six and eight artists with him as co-astronauts, in order to inspire them to create art based on the experience."
What better choice for an artist than Mike Oldfield? I think a campaign should be started for Arthur Clarke's suggestion to be followed and for Mike to be launched into space, as a duty to his fans.
