SpaceX is flying a second private Starship mission around the Moon, and Dennis and Akiko Tito are its first customers.

The Titos announced Wednesday that they purchased two of a dozen seats on a second SpaceX circumlunar flight around the Moon later this decade. With the public announcement, Akiko Tito becomes the first woman confirmed to fly on Starship. The flight will last about a week, outbound to the Moon, passing within about 40 km of the surface and flying back. Ten other seats on Starship remain unsold and are available.

For this reason, it seems to me that a likely outcome is that SpaceX gets as much test data out of Booster 7 as possible, and then ends up launching with Booster 9 or higher on the orbital flight. Better boosters are coming along quickly.
