Astronaut Soichi Noguchi returned to Earth on a private spaceship for the first time in May 2021 as a Japanese astronaut.He connected the universe 400 km above the earth and the way to interact in real time was exactly the "ultimate telework."We asked Mr. Noguchi, who was the third space flight for the first time in 10 years, about the latest astronauts, prospects for space sightseeing, and how to spend the time "do not is isolated" in remote work.(Interviewed in December 2021) - First of all, in May this year (2021), he returned to the earth by a private spacecraft for the first time as a Japanese astronaut.It became a big news not only in Japan but also in the world.In November 2020, he flew from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and stayed at the International Space Station (hereinafter ISS) for about five and a half months.This is the first time for me for the first time in 10 years, the third space flight, and the first flight dragon of the American private space company "Space X" in full -scale operation.Until now, we have been to space on spaceships developed as national policy, such as the US Aeronautics and Space Bureau (NASA) and Russia's Roscosmos, but for the first time this time, a private spacecraft and returns and returns between the Earth and ISS.It was said that it was the beginning of the new universe era, and it was attracting attention from an early age.――The crew dragon on boarding Noguchi was named “Resilience”.Only the first machine is the honor of giving a name.So we talked about our crew (crew) and named it "Resilience".This word, translated as strength, has the meaning of a strong will to the resurrection, the ability to overcome difficulties, and the flexibility to flexibly deal with the situation.At the end of 2019, when it was more than six months before the space flight, a new colon virus appeared suddenly, and the infection expanded around the world at tremendous speed.Just as you were staying home, I couldn't go out of my house, and there were times when training and exchanges over the screen became the mainstream.The launch was also postponed, and sometimes suffered to maintain motivation.But we all the four crews did not give up on the challenge of space.I was enthusiastic about this mission with the enthusiasm that I could feel a lot of difficulties to the difficult goals for many people.The word that symbolized our thoughts was "Resilience".――How was the new spacecraft, Crew Dragon, actually boarded?First of all, the inside of the ship is very stylish because the overall color tone is unified in white and black.There is a large touch panel in the cockpit, where only the necessary screens appear at that time so that you can operate with one finger.The space shuttle and Soyuz I have boarded so far have a lot of buttons and instruments as if there were 3000 pieces, and I started using one button for one work, so I first learned the arrangement of the buttons.With that in mind, I was impressed that it was an era of one -of -a -kind use that could do a number of tasks with the touch panel.I call this "from black telephone to smartphone" (laughs).
