I believe this mission will be a first of sorts.
There have been several “go to the moon but don’t land” piloted missions, but AFAIK this will be the first planned* “go around once” figure 8 mission. The SpaceX ship won’t orbit the moon, just do a fly-by.
*Apollo 13 did a fly by orbit-once.

No. Really - there’s a Mars colony all set up and waiting for you.
