As a crew member of Vast's Private Astronaut Mission to the ISS (Vast-PAM-1), Greece's first astronaut, @Astrovenator, has been announced, following France and the Czech Republic. Even though it is a private mission, all three are ESA astronauts, and it can be called a symbol of public-private partnership. I’m looking forward to next year’s mission.
Translated from JapaneseCongratulations @isaraerospace on the great achievement! Isar Aerospace's Spectrum rocket successfully reached orbit from continental Europe (Andøya, Norway) for the first time as a private rocket. The company is also planning a second launch site in Canada. I pay tribute to challenges around the world and look forward to Japanese rockets as well.
Translated from JapaneseOn the occasion of the news of astronaut Toyohiro Akiyama’s passing, I offer my heartfelt condolences. I was still a student at the time, but I was thrilled that an era had opened in which Japanese people could also go into space, and I felt a great sense of familiarity with the scenes of space he brought to us in Japanese. He was also a global pioneer of private spaceflight. With gratitude and condolences…
Translated from Japanese#H3F9 Congratulations on the successful launch of Michibiki 7 by the H3 rocket! Access to space is the foundation of space development, and I pay my respects to everyone involved.
