Uchuu Kyoudai: Number Zero Page #3

---

I concur

Hold this belief, tightly, in your heart, ok?

yeah!

The depressurised environment is stable. Get ready to work.

We have a vacuum

A vacuum is formed.

ok, Hibito, buddy

let's start the oxygen scarcity simulation

Copy

Checking EMU operation conditions

Main tank:
empty

Back up tank:
2 minutes worth of oxygen remaining.

Attempting connections between EMU

Connect it from blue to red

Damn it!

What's this?

This is..

Although I am reluctant

NASA has advised us to complete our will as part of protocol

I want to tell my big brother one thing

It took me 19yrs to reach my goal

I am certain that you'll fly, too.

Unfortunately,

It's seems I've died before you get this message

Big Brother

Even in death

I'll be waiting in space for your arrival

So that we can see the stars together again.

Hibito

Today, we're about to witness a true leap for man kind

as everybody knows on the surface of the moon

There is no air or water

And certainly no chance of survival

The challenge of building any kind of moon base

is probably the most ambitious project in the history of science

In this mission

All our eyes are on Hibito Nanba

The samurai boy will be the youngest person ever

to walk on the moon And Japans first

On this beautiful day in Florida we are now together

the people here, in Japan and all over the world

Excuse me, excuse me.

Mutta!

Mutta!Mutta!Mutta!

Hey Hey, he told me to tell you

That this spot is the best

for the interview

Isn't that great, honey!

Hibito

Hibito!

Hibito!

Hibito!

Hibito

Hibito

Thank you

Sorry, apologies.

Hibito

Hibito

I'll be back soon guys.

You're going to be 11 stones on the moon! eat well!

Don't forget

please look after Apo

Apo's a good dog.

Your embarrassing us, dad

Big Brother, Don't forget

huh?

forget?

Of course I won't forget

So

Im just giving you a head start. I'll see you in space. believe it!

Don't chip your tooth whilst on the ride!

My brother

Right. Apo

Dad, where's Apo?

Apo, Apo!

Apo!

my dog!

Hibito!

Hibito, we'll take of everything

Apo!

Apo!

Wait for me

Apo

what are you doing?

Apo

Wait, Apo!

Give me a break

What's with the sudden walk!

Hey, you come up here broccoli

Don't just stand there.

You want to see the lift off, right?

climb up the ladder, there

What the hell.

Mister

old man

I'm very sorry

I don't have time to hang out with you

just a minute

You know we live one life

you can't play around with two

you following me, broccoli

now look at what you can see

amazing!

This use to be the control tower

way back, before the Apollo missions.

in the beginning; it was just small unmanned rockets.

You just made a choice you'll never regret

My little brother is in there.

but I...I have so many different feelings

I just don't know how I should look up at that rocket

I've been

feeling everything, looking at that guy.

So kid, tell me, that big rocket over there.

You know what powers it? what lifts it up?

The heart of the people. that's real power

It's the courage of the astronauts

Every rocket on every single mission

so full of passion and determination. And then, all the tireless people on the ground

Every single one of them, an expert

So proud. So full of knowledge

Then think of all of those people out there watching

Full of hope and prayer. Respect.

That's what ignites. That's what catches fire inside and then explodes.

and lifts that 2000 tonnes of metal into space

So that thing that's bothering you. it's stirring inside. That confusion

Well it's just helping lift that rocket a little higher

feel better

I don't know

Thanks, I guess.

So who are you?

Im just an old man who took a stroll

on the moon a long long time ago.

Enough of that, it's about to lift off

we have lift off!

Go

Go

Go!

Go!

Congratulations

Hibito

ok guys, are you ready?

This is it

alright, let's do it!

welcome to space Hibito

Into

outer space

Out of this world.

okay everybody, let's go to the moon

Tadashi, we are trying

to come to a consensus

Sawaki seems to have 2 more votes than Mutta.

Majority rule isn't always right

It's just two votes. The candidates should be discussed further.

two additional votes is still a majority.

Our data also highlights the strength and weaknesses of each candidate

Values processed by the computer doesn't guarantee the better candidate.

After all, a program is limited by what it cannot measure.

Are you suggesting the programs we have used are all for naught?

Why are you so obsessed with Mutta?

it's something I can't clearly articulate

But it's almost destiny that it should happen.

Imagine:
two brothers in Space

pardon the intrusion

But I must attest for him

From my experience, Mutta Hibito's passion for space is insurmountable

As a child; he and Namba would attend all of JAXA's presentation.

Also, imagine The world's first space brothers

Exploring the moon together; I vote for Mutta!

All the way!

Hey

sadly, She's not apart of this committee

Indeed. Ms Yuan does not have the right to vote.

ok Hibito, it's rolling.

you ready?

This is going all over Japan

You better look cool coming down that ladder

This is a step for man

But a giant step for mankind

Neil Armstrong proclaimed those famous words.

When he was on the moon 56 years ago.

Since ancient times, the moon has held great reverence to the Japanese

I can't believe it

unbelievable

I've got to tell him the good news.

Oh

Apo seems optimistic about the news

You can use it as it is. Image reception is still good

Copy

Right

yeah!

look at him go!

wait. wait. wait.

Hell of an entrance. Yeah!

Hibito's first step is well received

On the day of the first Japan to land on the moon

his entrance could be described as energetic and youthful

A bold entrance!

What was that?

Our very own lunar rabbit is hopping around

Excellent. Excellent!

incredible!

Please enter

immaculate

hey, check it out

It's obviously a sealed environment but there are windows

A nice touch

We're now floating in space

Yes, where there's a lack of oxygen and gravity

You sound like a talkative fellow. And you wear your heart on your sleeve, too.

Furuya's the name

We should be cautious of what we say

This is an exam

Our actions will be monitored by the command centre.

That includes what we say.

The test has begun

Please

Let's give them the first challenge.

I concur

Your attention please

Please observe the screen

This cabin

is self sufficient and is design for long term space travel.

You will spend ten days in here

And undergo numerous tasks.
