Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, 46, who recently visited space, confirmed that his trip made him feel "a greater appreciation" of planet Earth.
Maezawa spent 12 days in December on the International Space Station with his assistant, and after returning to Earth, he told his impressions of space at a press conference in Tokyo, according to what was reported by Agence France-Presse.
He also said that returning from space feels a greater appreciation for the earth, the seasons, the wind, the smells, and the look at many things.
Maezawa, who made his fortune in the online clothing trade, described the view of Earth from the International Space Station, saying, "It is very beautiful in the picture, but it is a hundred times more beautiful if we see it with our own eyes."
In front of this scene, he asked: "What would world leaders think if they gathered in space and talked about Earth's problems?", considering that this could make Earth a better place to live.
The businessman also talked about his exploration plans, which include an upcoming trip around the moon in 2023 with eight people in a SpaceX spacecraft, and a diving operation in the deepest ocean trench on Earth.
"I would like to dive in the Mariana Trench" in the Pacific Ocean, he said, explaining that the type and duration of this operation have been set in reality, and will be announced later.
In addition, Maezawa, who, during his stay at the International Space Station, posted videos about daily life in orbit through his YouTube channel, about his feeling of weightlessness and the difficulty of sleeping in the absence of gravity, because what is in space "constantly floats."
The Japanese billionaire posted on his Twitter account a video clip of Earth from space, describing the scene as "amazing."
