Why are they going to the moon? Haven’t we as humans done that already? I’m sure there are better things to do with so much money! Hmm hi def pictures of earth and space not too bad of an idea though.
Actually i hope they make it … it would kill the americans …now all they can say is that they are the first

@ Stunner…Japan was late into the space race but knowing how the Japanese are I wouldn’t be surprised in they are the space exploration leaders in the near future

Guess it won’t be long before you need your fingerprints taken to get on the moon then 😉
