SpaceX moon passenger Yusaku Maezawa has 20,000 applicants to be girlfriend he takes on journey:
Yusaku Maezawa, theĀ Japanese billionaire set to become the first private passenger on a SpaceX Starship, is seeking a partner to "go to the moon with him." The 44-year-old Japanese drummer-turned-entrepreneur, who founded clothing site Zozotown, has begun an unusual quest to find a female partner to take to the moon -- and he's reportedly got over 20,000 applicants.
In partnership with Elon Musk's SpaceX, Maezawa announced in 2018 he would be going to the moon. As part of his mission, he bought up six to eight seats on the company's next-generation Starship and told reporters he would be asking six to eight artists to head to lunar orbit with him. The project, known as #dearMoon, is scheduled to launch in 2023.
[...] As of Thursday, AbemaTV said 21,700 people had applied, with 16 hours left until the deadline.

A guy doesn't need a reason, just an opportunity. I guess the science bit would help to convince her, though.

Does having observers make it "science"?
What if they film it?
What if a scientist just watches the results, afterwards?
Do the scientists have to keep their clothes on while watching? [wikipedia.org]

Porntube is science, of course. It's where incels learn what they are missing out on.

I'm sure the word "billionaire" would do a lot more convincing than "science."
