Dennis Tito, world's first space tourist, plans flight around the moon aboard SpaceX Starship

Dennis Tito, an 82-year-old aerospace engineer-turned-financial analyst who paid Russia $20 million for a trip to the International Space Station in 2001, is working with SpaceX on plans to take his wife on what amounts to a belated honeymoon voyage to the moon.

In an interview with "CBS Mornings," Tito said he and his wife of two years want to fly on Elon Musk's futuristic Starship for the sheer adventure of it. They also want to inspire senior citizens who might think their horizons are increasingly limited.

And they want to play a part in humanity's initial steps out into the solar system.
