However, this extravehicular activity set a new record for Japanese people and the local community is very excited. "
On top of that, "Developing the frontier of space is an eternal challenge. The Japanese government wants to play an active role and contribute to the world. Although the return is imminent, the remaining mission is successful and it returns safely. I pray that it will be done. "
In response, Mr. Noguchi said, "I am very pleased to be the first Japanese to come to the International Space Station with a spacecraft developed by a private company. I hope that this result will be used for future space development in Japan. I want to give back. "
