What do we want future space exploration to look like?

前回は同一労働同一賃金の話から、これからの労働環境はどうあるべきか、色々な話が出ました。様々な職業、様々な経験のあるメンバーが集まっていますから、ほほぉ、そんなこともあるのか、と世界が広がります。

さて、次回ははやぶさ2のカプセルも無事に帰ってきたことですし、ちょっとだけ身近になったような気もする宇宙開発についてです。SFの世界だと思ってたことが、もうすぐそこに来ているのかも??

Topic 1: Christmas and New Year's Day are coming soon!

1) Christmas is just around the corner. What are your sweet or bitter memories of Christmas?
2) What is the most exciting Christmas present you've ever received?
3) Please share any interesting memories about New Year's Day.
4) Have you made any big purchases with New Year's gift money in your childhood?

Topic 2: What do we want future space exploration to look like?
The Hayabusa-2 spacecraft released a capsule that was supposed to contain rocks from an asteroid, and the capsule safely landed in Australia on December 6. To celebrate this success, I would like to pick up the topic of space again, although we already discussed space exploration around four years ago. Some people argue that space exploration is a waste of taxpayer money, but I believe that the previous missions have given mankind a lot of knowledge and will continue letting us get one step closer to answering the ultimate questions of where we came from and where we are going. The Hayabusa-2 has already started another mission, traveling to a much smaller asteroid. There are many more missions on the horizon, and the space business is expected to grow significantly in the future. Why don’t we talk about the future of space exploration?

1) What are your thoughts on recent and near-future space missions?
2) What impact do you think space-related business will have on the global economy or politics in the future?
3) What kinds of concerns do you have about space missions?
4) What do we want future space exploration to look like?
