I’m hoping that Japan is able to keep sending more hardware into space, such a technologically advanced nation needs to have a presence in space.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Don’t be a strag, you have to catch the hoopiest film to hit the silver screen in ages!
The Vogons look pretty good, I like Ford and Arthur, and Zaphod is, well Zaphod. His other head has looked better in the past, but you have to make some allowances if your the President of the Galaxy, but it’s nice to see that he kept his third arm (you can never outgrow ski boxing, can you?)
Grab your towel and your Sub-etha Sens-o-matic and be first in line!

Space Elevator
I hope that one of these gets built before I die. Anything that will get mass out of the gravity well is a good thing. Something like this could make space travel a reality for just about anybody.
