Back in 2017, Musk said that SpaceX would be flying private citizens around the Moon by 2018. That hasn’t happened yet, obviously, and the most recent goal of trying to send paying customers around the Moon in 2023 also fell through.

The NASA-led Artemis-2 mission is currently scheduled to fly humans around the Moon in September 2025, but there’s no word from SpaceX about a new date for when average citizens might make the trip.
