B1: Excuse me, where’s the exit?

< Brrrrr >

BOX: Why can I go to NASA for free?
B1: Zzz-------

BOX: That’s because I’m Hibito’s brother.
BOX: There’s a “Family Support Program” in NASA.


Page 05
BOX: It’s a program where NASA takes care of the astronaut’s families,
BOX: until the astronauts fulfill their missions and return to Earth safely.

BOX: The purpose is to reduce the astronauts’ worries toward the family members left on Earth,
BOX: and allow them to concentrate on their work.

B1: Houston Sun Park….. so it’s here.


Page 06
B1: Oho~~~~
B2: no wonder it’s a park near the Space center.

B1: Huff // huff
B2: Huff
B3: Huff
B4: Huff

B1: It’s huge! // Your house is pretty big.
B2: It’s a bit old though.


Page 14
B1: Ah, that’s right! I said you won’t need them, but
B2: rustle rustle
B3: mom kept on bugging me to take them, so here
B4: some gifts.

B1: Microwave meat buns, flavored seaweed, // and peanut snack….
B2: Also Korean Kimchi that only has two days till the expiration date….. // she says “In America, the expiration date will be extended as much as the time gap. “

B1: The slight strangeness is just like mom.
B2: Basically, she gave away everything she didn’t need.

B1: Thud

B1: Crunch crunch
B2: crunch crunch


Page 15
B1: I had my doubts, but so it’s “Apo” from “Apollo” huh.
B2: Slice slice
B3: Crunch Crunch

B1: Poor Apo-chan.
B2: Don’t omit the “llo”~~~~

B1: Slice

B1: Hibito had a habit of being lazy on small things ever since he was little.
B2: The reason “llo’ was omitted is that fault.
B3: scratch scratch.

B1: Really?

B1: Really. // For example, look here.
B2: Step

B1: This curtain is missing a hook.


Page 16
B1: Even though you noticed it, you’re a guy that won’t reach out his hands for it.
B2: Clam

B1: ….I guess

B1: “I want some plants in the room, “
B2: “but watering is too much work ….”

B1: so…. the result
B2: is this cactus.

B1: …..
B2: He saw right through it….
B3: And if we look closely,

B1: he gave up halfway
B2: on pealing the seal.


Page 17
B1: As usual, he’s amazing….
B2: Aren’t there more stuff in the lawn?
B3: Open

B1: Crunch // crunch
B2: Slice // slice

< Silence >

B1: ………
B2: …….?

B1: Open
B2: Ah, he’s just being lazy!

B1: It’s the best
B2: this lawn.


Page 18
B1: What’re you doing?
B2: Imitating Tom Hanks in “Apollo 13”
B3: We watched it together long time ago on a DVD.

B1: He was doing at a lawn similar to this! Like this…..

B1: Does that have any purpose?
B2: No clue
B3: I don’t know anything about purpose, but…..


Page 19
B1: “3478km in diameter and 384 thousand km away from Earth”
B2: even if you line up such insane numbers, from here you can just cover it with your thumb.

B1: Like that, to such a place where you can never reach normally,
B2: my brother is leaving soon. If I think about that,

B1: it’s amazing.
B2: Unbelievable.

B1: …….


Page 20
B1: Slurp
B2: Slurp

B1: What’re you saying.
B2: Mutt-chan’s going there too.

B1: ……..
B2: Tch…..don’t say it so simply. #simply/easily

B1: Scratch scratch
B2: Back in the days…. during summer vacation….. // remember how we biked all the way up to grandma’s place in Kyoto?

B1: ……..

B1: How long did that take? // Was it 3 days or 4?
B2: It’s three.

B1: Ah that’s right.
B2: It took three days to reach Kyoto by bike…..


Page 21
B1: it takes three days too,
B2: to reach the moon by a rocket.

B1: If you think like that, it’s no longer unreachable.
B2: It feels like it’s a piece of cake, right?

B1: ……..

B1: You know,
B2: I’ll use this moment to get it out clearly…..


Page 22
B1: there’s no way I can go. // Right now, the difference between you and me, in terms of position or… circumstance, stuff that
B2: is just way too big….. even our sense of distance to the moon. #big/wide/large or. “even how far we each feel about the moon”.

B1: It’s different from before. #before/old times.
{ You probably won’t understand Hibito….. }

{ These days, no matter where I go, I’m just “Astronaut Namba’s big brother”. }


Page 23
{ No one calls me…. }
{ “Namba Mutta” anymore. }

B1: ……
B2: You know…

B1: If there was something different between now and before,

B1: That’s that Mutt-chan…..
B2: is no longer trying to compete like before.


Page 24
{ ……! }

B1: Try a bit more.
B2: Creak

B1: It’s boring.

B1: ……
B2: Close


Page 25
B1: Damn Hibito…..

B1: I didn’t know that….
B2: you thought I was boring…..

B1: …….
B2: You should’ve told me earlier.
