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 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.

B1: Su-…..such a beautiful person is aiming to be an astronaut too!?
B1: Half as a joke, I tweaked the chair a little bit beforehand. #“half as a joke” or “as somewhat of a joke” B2: You tweaked it?
B1: I loosened one of this chair’s screws on purpose.
B1: So if you sit on it, it rattles a small amount.
B1: ….?
B1: Of course, the same type chairs that are in the Examinee Waiting Room won’t rattle.
Page 16 B1: I wanted to see B2: if there are any examinees that will notice this tiny discomfort.
B1: Hmmm B2: Were there any people that noticed such a thing?
B1: Lean B2: For Group A, there were none…..
B1: But for this Group B, there were 3 people.
Page 17 B1: The first person noticed the screw instantly, but
B1: seemed like he wasn’t bothered by it after that.
B1: The second person unintentionally laughed when she noticed,
B1: and was startled by herself laughing.
B1: And the remaining one….
Page 18 B1: kept on reaching out his hand desperately in order to tighten the screw. B2: Actually he managed to tighten it a little bit.
Page 19 B1: Aren’t they….just people who couldn’t focus on the interview…. B2: Haha, well….. Maybe that too. // That’s why it was half a joke.

Page 10 B1: Oh….. B2: That’s a familiar song…..
B1: It’s Mutta and Hibito’s performance.
B1: Since you suddenly told me you’re coming to visit, I decided to play it.
Page 11 < rattle rattle > < rattle rattle > B1: They say it’s 315 people out of 1225. // The ones who passed the paper selection.
B1: That’s amazing! Too pass through such odds! B2: ….. // But…. I didn’t do anything though.
B1: He must’ve known that your merits are enough to pass it. B2: Hibito that is.
B1: ……..
Page 12 B1: Then next is the 1st Examination…… B2: That’s the tough written exam.
B1: …… B2: I’m not taking it.

Page 16 B1: “Which one do you want to play? “
B1: ……
B1: Everything!
Page 17 B1: Huh--- You’re playing everything?
B1: Cause B2: unless I try everything, I can’t decide.
B1: ……
B1: Back in the days, if I asked that to Mutta B2: You said “Everything!” and tried every single instrument. Do you remember? // You spent one whole hour.
B1: Then for some reason, you chose the trumpet among them. B2: when I asked “Why?”, you
Page 18 B1: It’s the one that’s….
B1: hardest to play.
B1: ……
B1: Back then, you were that type of a kid. B2: You kept challenging anything // and chose to do the hardest.
B1: D…..did I really? B2: Didn’t I choose the trumpet simply because it was the one that shined the most?
B1: Then that’s okay too.
Page 19 B1: Right now, for you… B2: what’s the one that shines the most?
< Kororon >
B1: Come on, hold the trumpet. B2: Make a sound.
Page 20 B1: You don’t have to be good, // and it’s okay to make a mistake, Mutta. B2: First, make a sound.
B1: If you don’t make a sound, B2: the music can’t start.
B1: ……
< reach… >
Page 21 B1: Eh----- Mutta-san came by today? B2: Yeah
B1: He was hesitating whether or not to take the 1st Examination. B2: Is that so?
B1: Mutta-san always came here alone when he was trouble or things like that. B2: Although Hibito-san never did such a thing.
B1: Mutta wanted to be an “amazing brother” that can do anything. B2: From a certain point….. // he started being extremely ashamed of failing in front of Hibito.
Page 22 B1: So….. B2: what kind of face did Mutta-san make when he left?
B1: Good morning!
B1: We’re the “Re-pair Yoshihara” that will fix anything at a cheap price.
Page 23 B1: This please. B2: Ah…… B3: That’s a pretty old model.

{ CES – Crew Exploration System. Mission name for operations that tries to install a space base on the moon surface. }
Page 13 B1: Our mission is something like a rehearsal for realizing the immigration to Mars. B2: With moon as the stage, we will construct a living environment and practice long term inhabitance.
B1: I see.
B1: But there seems to be stories that say you’re actually going there to look for UFO.
B1: The one who’s going to make this his first flight seems to be familiar with this, right?
B1: …..
< turn >
Page 14 B1: Oh…….maybe B2: he’s talking about me?
B1: Uh-hum // Um~~~~ Please don’t be worried. B2: Bzzzz B3: I will focus on the mission at the moon. B4: Bzzzzz B5: Excuse me, please don’t grab the mike.
B1: It is true that I said “I’ve seen a UFO” while I was on TV, but // that’s just a childhood story.
B1: I don’t know if that really was a UFO, but
Page 15 B1: it is true that it became a inspiration that brought me here.
B1: ….. B2: Cough B3: Then Namba Hibito-san….
B1: how do you feel about becoming “Japan’s first person” to land on the moon?
B1: For Japanese people, moon has been a very special thing for a very long time. B2: I am honored to no end that I’m going there representing my own country. B3: However….
B1: It is unfortunate that the person B2: who should’ve stepped on the moon before me is not here.
Page 16 BOX: Japan #no need to TS leave it as it is.
B1: That’s all your belongings, right!
B1: Take that man to the station. B2: Yes sir!
B1: ….. B2: Pff…… B3: How ironic.
Page 17 B1: To get sent off with the car that I design…… // and even earned a prize.
B1: Namba-senpai…. I really don’t know what to say….. B2: Don’t bother. Getting fired is a pretty common agony.
B1: I’m quite used to agonies. B2: It’s fate of a “Agony of Doha born” #if this doesn’t sound like it’s referring to someone born at that time, change of “one born during Agony of Doha”
B1: …… B2: He’s saying it again…..
B1: Slam
B1: I’ll just say one last thing B2: before I leave. < rollllll >
