You mean
Noguchi Soichi? There's even an entry mentioning this appearance on that Wiki page! He's got quite a strong voice. Maybe he should consider a career as a seiyuu if he ever leaves JAXA.
I thought about using the Mutta-as-an-ant images for this week's installment of my Mutta avatar series, but I just don't find ants very appealing even with Mutta's silly face attached!

I find most attempts to rationalize sending humans into space unconvincing. Satellites and robot spacecraft are typically far better at gathering information than human observers would be. I subscribe to the more romanticized view, that it's our destiny as a species to explore the cosmos because that's what humans do. Maybe we'll discover ways to mine rare earths on asteroids, but mere economic rationales are uninspring. I doubt any of the characters in this show want to go into space for reasons like that.
Will arguments like these convince that journalist or the taxpayers in space-faring nations? Probably not. I do know that, while Kennedy's decision to go to the moon before the end of the 1960's primarily reflected military and political motives, there were a lot of people who found the whole notion thrilling.
Walter Cronkite was just their most public representative.
I bet Nixon ego was thrilled to refer to that phone call as the "most historic ever made from the White House." He liked to think himself as an historic figure.
