Abstract

Highly recommended by Shinichi Fukuoka.
A unique, heartwarming, and completely original scientific essay, like smiling to yourself as you count the petals of a cosmos flower deep inside a microscope. --Shinichi Fukuoka (author of Between Living and Non-Living Things)

Highly praised by Shinsuke Yoshitake and Naoko Yamazaki!
This is the No. 1 book you'd want to slip into the gaps of a space probe and deliver to someone in space. --Shinsuke Yoshitake (picture book author)
A valuable essay from a young researcher. I empathized deeply, and it brought me back to my roots and cleansed my soul! --Naoko Yamazaki (astronaut)

A young man with an unusual obsession with "flying" enrolled in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Tokyo with the goal of becoming an astronaut. He eventually entered the world of JAXA. Everyday life exists in space. And within everyday life, there is space. A new type of space engineering essay that dynamically moves between the hilariously vast universe and the palm-sized everyday life!

This is the author's long-awaited debut work.
