Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa cancelled his "dearMoon" mission, which the project said would have been the first private flight around the moon, the mission announced on Saturday.
"It's a developmental project so it is what it is, but it is still uncertain as to when Starship can launch," Maezawa said.
Elon Musk's SpaceX named Maezawa, the colourful founder of Japanese online fashion store Zozo Inc, its first private passenger in 2018.
Three years later he was the first private passenger to visit the International Space Station in more than a decade, launching on a Soyuz rocket.
In November he said the flyby mission would be delayed until this year or later.
