=17 = Hyabusa, the mission of “Never Give Up” = 10217 =

= = =My cool Japan is Hyabusa, the asteroid probe. I think all of you know it. The reason why it’s fame is that it was the first probe which returned with sample from heavenly body further than the moon. = = = =I think Hyabusa itself is so cool. It was equipped with many highly-performing-machines such as “Ion engine”, “Automatic landing system” and other scientific observation machines. However, the mission of Hyabusa is way cooler than Hayabusa itself I think. The mission of Hayasbusa is based on the thinking which is to be the First in the world, not after the United States. This thinking attracted me. Also, “the Spirit of Never Give Up” was seen in it. There were so many problems when Hayabusa was miles away from the Earth that some people said “It will not able to come back”. However the member of it never gave up. This led to the success of the mission. Seen in the news, the reentering the atmosphere of Hayabusa impressed me. At the same time I noticed that it was the fruit of all people’s efforts. = = = =In the future, I want to take a part in space exploration mission, and I’ll make it cooler than any other mission. It‘ll even be cooler than the mission of Hayabusa. Until then, I’LL NEVER GIVE UP! =
