HASUMI Taisei’s comment
I am deeply honored that my efforts in human space development, which I have pursued since my student days, have been recognized in this way. The many lessons I learned and people I met at Meiji University have led me to where I am today. I will continue taking on challenges from Japan to the world and into space, expanding the frontiers of human activity.
