SpaceX's upcoming crewed mission will be starred by elite persons who are carefully selected for a special operation in space. One of the participating members in the flight for 2023 is the popular Indian TV actor Dev Joshi.
Joshi, 22, is well-known for being one of the most important characters in "Baal Veer," a famous television series you can watch on Sony Sab.
The "dearMoon CREW" flight is about to start next year. The project is headed by Yusaku Maezama, a Japanese billionaire who bought each slot for the rocket four years ago.
Joshi Joins SpaceX Moon Mission
As Mashable reports via the official website of dearMoon, Joshi has confirmed his presence on the upcoming crewed mission aboard a SpaceX rocket.
Maezawa revealed that the eight personalities who will travel with him to the lunar surface would include Joshi. This was not the first time that the said project was publicly announced.
Before Maezawa acquired the exclusive seats for the mission, SpaceX mentioned in 2017 that the "dearMoon" project would push through in the next few years. Of course, the application for the slot won't be easy as millions of applicants from different countries are vying for the spot.
"I can't express myself in words, but the feeling is beyond anything. I am proud to be part of such an extraordinary, unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime project of dearMoon," Joshi posted on his Instagram account last week.
Joshi's dream of reaching the moon is about to begin in just a few strides. Outside acting, he will try to explore the beauty of the moon together with other participants in the dearMoon mission.
