Will SpaceX's moon mission carry any engineers to fix the craft or will the artists be trained for these operations?

In the live stream, musk mentioned that a dozen would be the ideal size for a mission. Could of easily been an off the cuff range, but would allow for some engineers if something goes wrong.



Haven't seen any official confirmation.



6 artists + Yusaku = 7 passengers so 5 engineers (or 4 + Elon)



or



8 artists + Yusaku = 9 passengers so 3 engineers (or 2 + Elon)

          The Space.com article How SpaceX's 1st Passenger Flight Around the Moon with Yusaku Maezawa Will Work contains a slide show with more information from SpaceX.



          Slide 15 confirms SpaceX crew members in addition to the ones announced:




          Launch phase



          Like any major space mission, Maezawa's flight will begin at liftoff.
          While early tests of the BFR spaceship will likely occur at SpaceX's southern Texas proving ground near Brownsville, the actual rocket may launch from a different site or from an offshore platform, Musk has said.



          Maezawa's flight will not carry a full complement of 100 passengers but rather only the select few he chooses to join him and any SpaceX pilots or astronauts that may be required. (emphasis added)

          I really suspect that a dozen people will be on the mission. So your numbers are correct. If nothing else, no one is going to pay hundreds of millions of dollars and then want to clean the toilets and fix the spacecraft, someone will have to be on hand to do those tasks. Also likely a pilot, who will also help with that kind of stuff, will be on board.

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
