In recent months it became clear that if Maezawa's mission happened, it would not occur until at least the early 2030s—at least a decade after the original plan.
The original target was 2023, so is Berger saying he already had inside information that it wouldn't fly before 2033?
If, yesterday, you'd told me 2027, I'd have believed you!
We might actually find out, because there was a 2nd circumlunar tourist trip planned. If that's still going ahead, maybe it'll just be promoted to the 'slot' that was previously allocated to Dear Moon?
