 A. I see a possibility of a vision for the future, a stated objective of reaching a Gate Port close to the moon, and a neutral place between the gravity of the earth and the gravity of the moon. It's called a libration point. That can be a location where we can construct a Gate Port where objects and spacecraft from the earth can go through this location and then reach the surface of the moon, reach asteroids, telescopes, eventually travel to the moons of Mars and to Mars. I see this vision is coming soon, within months, I hope, perhaps even on the anniversary of the Wright brothers' flight in this Wright Flyer 100 years from Dec. 17. That is the vision that I hope to see in the near future.



This year is the memorable year of the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first flight. Dr. Aldrin gave a speech at Kitty Hawk, where the Wright brothers carried out their first flight. A large-scale commemorative ceremony is expected to be held on Dec. 17, and we also anticipate that, on July 20, 2069, on the day of the 100th anniversary of the first human moonwalk, a huge ceremony will be held with descendants of the astronauts and other people concerned participating, possibly at the Sea of Tranquility. We then asked, "What kind of space activities do you expect human beings to have completed by 2069?"
