Unfortunately the launch countdown has been outsourced to Microsoft....
10, 9, 57, 12, 7, 433, 5, 6, 200, 2 hrs 29 minutes, 2, 1, 15, 14

If Microsoft are involved it will never get off the launch pad.

Suity is developing the mission control software.

They won't even have finished the requirements workshops by 2019

Well Space-X will if you pay enough SpaceX to Send Privately Crewed Dragon Spacecraft Beyond the Moon Next Year | SpaceX

It's safe to assume the in flight entertainment won't include a showing of Apollo 13 (1995)

Sounds like a suicide mission.

Zero likelihood of them achieving this in 2018.

It's one thing to dock with the ISS, another to make it to the moon and back.

One hell of an expensive way to commit suicide. Estimated price of a ticket, $100m-$250m.

I think I'd rather take my chances with something like this:

The haven't even flown the heavy lift rocket and they will do the test missions and a fly by in less than 2 years?

The journey time to ISS (once you've done all the speed adjustments) isn't much less than to the moon.

Apollo took 52 hours to get to lunar orbit. Granted you won't need to decelerate in the same way as you will slingshot round.

Sounds like a change to be the first person on the moon.

Bet you still have to change at Alpha Centauri for a replacement bus service...
