00:00Mr. Nozaki-san, we are hours away until the moon landing attempt.
00:04How are you feeling?
00:05Kind of a mixed feeling, to be honest.
00:07I mean, of course, excited, you know, but we have been waiting for this moment for like
00:12five or seven, more than seven years, I think, you know, since we started.
00:17We started this Randa development in 2016 to 17, and at that time, something really
00:23amazing idea is, even at that time, we are thinking about, let's do two missions anyway
00:28first, because it's not, we are thinking about the future, you know, commercialized mission,
00:33right?
00:34So, to do that, it's not only kind of a one-time challenge, we are very proud about our kind
00:40of progress coming so far, but at the same time, also very nervous, to be honest, right?
00:46We have many stakeholders, you know, around us, so it's a really important mission for
00:51many of us.
00:52You mentioned that mission two was always part of the plan, but can you take us through
00:58differences in approach?
00:59When the first mission finished, very lucky thing for us was we know what was the root
01:08cause of that mission one landing failure.
01:13Apart from landing phase, other than that, hardware things, those were performing perfectly.
01:20Mission two, you know, we want to have a completion of this lunar landing, of course, but it's a
01:25gradual progress of the process, right?
01:28And so, mission two, one of the important key messages is, you know, landing and beyond,
01:34so what we do after landing.
01:36So we had our own micro-rover developed by iSpace Europe.
01:42Once after landing on the moon's surface, we deployed this rover, and we, iSpace, will also
01:48operate this micro-rover and do many kind of experiments on the lunar surface.
01:52Many countries, companies, countries, they are thinking about creating some moon base on
01:59the lunar surface, but that is a, you know, to create those type of moon base, before that,
02:04we need to do many experiments beforehand.
02:07And what was it like collaborating with the Taiwan student team?
02:11We feel this kind of, maybe it's a good word, is we feel very good hope here, because first
02:18of all, this is a university, the people we are discussing with, you know, Central University
02:24of Taiwan, it includes also young students, relatively young from ourselves, but, so this, those are,
02:32including us, but we are exactly the generation going to lead this space industry in the next
02:3820 to 30 years, right?
02:40We really want to cherish this kind of, you know, starting, important starting from the
02:47university.
02:48And, I just, you know, explain, iSpace was also started from a university company.
02:52Thank you very much so much, and I'm thrilled to help you guys find me with the
03:09terraria total of 15 years, because, so i think that now it's the cierta line, right?
03:13So, that's huge.
03:14If you get whatever you've been to, I would say it was a big healthier but it's that I
