Uchuu Kyoudai: Number Zero

---

Climb!

Yes, sir!

(pants)

Hibito

We need to conduct an in-depth investigation

I hear and Obey, Big Brother

An older brother must always walk in front his little brother

July 9, 10.01pm

Discovered a Japanese tree frog in the grass

behind the bamboo shoots near the Metro

Big Brother

Big Brother!

Big Brother!

What are you doing?!

Big Brother, Over there!

What?

Hurry up!

What is it?

That, That!

What is that?!

I don't Know

It's flying to the moon!

Hey, big brother

I...

I've made up my mind. Im going to be become an astronaut and fly to the moon.

Say again?

Big brother, how about you?

I...

I...

I Think I'll

This fall, mission CES-51 will leave for the moon

Our mission is to establish a habitable environment

We'll make longer stays, on the moon, as possible

As you know

The necessary modules and equipment has already been transported

We are now ready

to take the first real steps towards terraforming the moon

With the ability to stay there for an extended period of time

The chances of alien encounter is sure to increase too

Wouldn't you say Captain?

That kind of question really should go to him. He's the expert.

Who? me?

Well...

You are right, I saw a UFO when I was a boy

Please. Don't hold the microphone

Sorry

That was just like the sound the UFO use to communicate

No worries

Anyway, of course the UFO I saw, when I was a boy

is one of the reasons I am here today

But, on the moon, I will be focused on our mission.

That's certain

I would like to ask

Mr. Hibito Namba, on Japan's National Day

What would you say about becoming the first Japanese to land on the Moon?

Yes

The Japanese are particularly reverent about the moon

On behalf of my province, I am very proud

However, When I land on the moon, then I'll

Find the words to tell you. Now is not the time. Apologies.

This model is completely overturned. Im baffled.

What's really the reason for this?

The performance and specifications of the design are optimal

This is rotten, we have our hands tied compared to Namba's predecessors

Namba's predecessors spent a whole five years on this design.

Well gentleman, do not pity me

I was born on the cursed day known as the tragedy of 'dora bora'

The curse even entends to having a boss of limited flexiblity and imagination

He's vindictive and as old and uncompromising as a rusty shutter gate

The United States gives you head space to innovate...

The astronauts are so young these days.

You don't know?

About Namba?

Although it's a secret.

The fact is that

No Way!

They're nothing alike!

What's the gossip?

What? The hell is this?

What is this?

The Aerospace industry is simply a waste of the national budget

reads like a hippie propaganda piece

Look at their idiotic smiles.

While they're playing Rocket man, Japan's international competitiveness has stagnated.

Is it really necessary to go to the Moon?

This is the result

Of ill thought out plans from such a degenerate Era.

These astronauts serve us better by being fireworks.

Director!

You're fired!

What's your problem. Get the hell out!

My ass hurts

jeez, it's killing me

Ah crap...Im stuck in between the butt crack of a black hole.

I used to work in a concept car design company

As a project team leader

I'll be there in 5 minutes

The design philosophy is contained in the Tk11

The crappy boss slandered my name to the entire industry

making it difficult to find employment.

Being too creative can be quite detrimental.

What's with the funny afro?

It also doesn't help when Ive inherited mum's quirks.

Thanks. Hear from you soon.

Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me

Where's Mutta?

Upstairs

In the end...

What am I doing with my life?

Mutta

What?

What are you doing?

I brought you cake.

Hey

The acute angle is a little too narrow

The eldest son should work harder than the father.

I'll find work soon

You've got to try harder!

Mutta, the unemployed

Ah, you've got mail

JAXA:

Why would JAXA send me a letter?

hello

he-llo

Ah, Mutta, long time no see.

So how goes it?

I've got nothing.

ah, could it be that they've screened your material?

Congratulation

Just in time. Perfect.

Man, after five years, they just fired you. That sucks.

You're better than them, brother.

So it really was you, out of the blue.

Your destined for better things

Why, ahh

Say again, i can't hear you

I said, why this extra thing?

I know Im a vagrant at the moment.

But being accepted to undergo Astronaut exams is not funny

Who's being funny?

hey

so...

Im into vehicle development

I've been doing it for almost ten years.

you know what I mean?

Cut the bullshit

All in All

Floating in the sky for work is your specialty

My feet are firmly grounded

You don't have to worry about me.

You've totally forgotten

Our promise

promise?

Well, all right.

Do me a favour and listen to the tape July 9, 2006.

Huh?

Bye

Hey, wait

let's go

Really, telling me to do stuff out of the blue.

At 10:
01 on July 9

Discovered a Japanese tree frog in the grass behind the bamboo shoots near the Metro

Mutta, there. There!

What's the matter with the recording?

Could it be?

Coincidence?

Hey, Big brother

I...

I've made up my mind. Im going to be become an astronaut and fly to the moon.

huh?

Mutta, how about you?

I...

I...

I think...

If youre going to the moon

Than I would definitely have to go further!

I'm going to mars!

Amazingly ambitious, Mutta!

There has to be a day

When the two of us become astronauts

and

Explore the universe together!

An excellent Idea, Big Brother!

I use to want to become astronaut

We use to go to lectures every day and fill our heads with the universe

But one day, I realised

Only a small number of exceptionally talented people could be accepted.

Being completely ordinary

It's practically impossible for me

This realisation made me run straight back

I made peace with myself

and decided to strive for something a little more realistic.

Hurry, let's go!

We have to photograph the UFO

Yeah! UFO! UFO!

But

UFO UFO:

But

I actually

Regretted

not pursuing my dream

Everybody

Thank you for participating in

JAXA's Junior Tour.

Thank you All

Ha, that's including our big sister up there.

Firstly, how about we start off with a little history

JAXA's space centre

The Tsukuba Space Centre covers an area of 530,000 square meters

That's equivalent to an area covering 12 Tokyo Domes

In addition,

JAXA also has pilot training facilities in the International Space Station (ISS)

Japan plays a significant role in commanding and maintaining many cabins and facilities in the ISS.

What's with the commentary?

Hey, who's the afro kid and spiky kid?

They come all the time.

Next

Please watch the history of space travel developed by VTR

great, please take over

Hey, you are not allowed to record in here!

But big sister, we want to be good knowledgeable adults

Perhaps, one day, we could even help JAXA
