>>8709054It's a bit of a surprise, since it is likely a "Look how fucking rich I am" dick-waving and/or PR thing for somebody.
Without naming the customer, this may be no more significant that the 2005 Russian lunar round-trip in a Soyuz for whoever bought a seat. They said they'd sold one seat already when they announced it. I am no historian, but I don't recall hearing that they ever actually followed through.
Of course, maybe this is all on the upand up, and there are reasons the client wanted to keep their name a closely held bit of information for now.
Still, it is worth watching what happens with this with at least a smidgeon of skepticism.
I am not calling anybody a liar, but I do note a pretty obvious motive to make this announcement that does not require it to be true.
