   Today I'm visiting Sagamihara (相模原市), a city on the border between Tokyo-to and Kanagawa-ken. Try guessing what I'm going to do there?

     Our friend worked on the orbital trajectory design for various JAXA missions, including Hayabusa 2's mission to Ryugu 😲

     Everywhere there are panels explaining JAXA's various scientific programs with a fair amount of detail.

     English is almost absent, but my friends helped me decode some of them.

     JAXA's staff members are working exceptionally hard to help the public understand their research 😯

     @bortzmeyer ...which I should also read!
     How's the #anime compared to the #manga?

     @xalofar The #anime with the girls doing astronomy? I've been meaning to watch it. Do they end up at JAXA?
