Personally, I'd wonder if I can give up my seat, and then pick two from the large collection of people we don't need on earth.

I like BergTheBold's answer. Or, if it's automated, someone who knows how to repair it and recover from problems.

But if I don't have to worry about any of that, I'd take my wife. Nobody I'd rather be anywhere with, and the moon doesn't change it. (But whether she would want to go is a different question...)

Do we get to come back, or not? That makes a big difference.

Personally I’d ask for a bigger rocket so I can all my homies with me.
