The Tenth Astronaut
The tenth Japanese astronaut, Kimiya Yui ( Air Self-Defense official ) is going to leave for the International Space Station ( ISS) by spaceship of the Soviet Union for half a year this July. Astronaut Toyohiro Akiyama ( TBS TV ) was the first Japanese in space. He went to the Mir space station by Soyuz space ship of the Soviet Union in 1990. K Yui will become the tenth Japanese to go to space, following M.Mouri, C.Mukai (Woman), T.Doi, K.Wakata, S.Noguchi, A.Hoside, N.Yamazaki (W) and S.Furukawa. An astronaut is a person who was chosen to fly with a spaceship out of the atmosphere. It is famous that Yuri A. Gagarin boarded the Soviet space ship Vostok alone as the world's first astronaut in 1961. He returned and left the words, "The earth was blue.” and “ Even if I looked around, there wasn't God”. Also, captain Neil Armstrong and landing ship pilot Buzz Aldrin of the U.S.A.’s Apollo 11 are vivid in our memory for succeeding with humans’ first Moon (Lunar) landing. They flew Eagle and Columbia, NASA space ships, landing on July 20, 1969. In total, 12 American astronauts succeeded in moon landings, but there is not yet a Japanese moon visitor. However, a plan to perform a moon landing with a Japanese rocket is now being prepared for the near future ( 5 years from now ). Already more than 500 astronauts have succeeded in cosmic travel using space craft of the Soviet Union and the United States and more than 30 countries’ astronauts around the world, including Japan, have done space travel. We watched history being made with deep emotion when Captain Armstrong succeeded in the first moon landing in 1969 and shouted "It was one step for man but a giant leap for the mankind".
Well, what kind of impression or word will Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui bring 46 years after Armstrong’s moon walk? Space is still far-off sky in my times, but the chance to go to space will definitely be available to young men in the future. The tempo of the times is really quick. I wanted to watch the blue earth from space, but my dream does not seem to come true.
※ An American travel agency is recommending 4 minuets of space travel, but its’ better to say “space flight” than a “space trip”. It’s 25,000,000 yen per 4 minutes. But if it isn't a stay the ISS or on a moon’s surface face as expected, I don't think I would be satisfied.

誰もが様々なことについて思い悩む日々を送っています。
「だから、明日のことまで思い悩むな。
マタイ6章34節 Matthew 6:34
Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
Each day's own evil is sufficient.
