With (and possibly because of) the exception of Great Wall. I don't see how that's astronomical.

Great Wall doesn't refer to the Chinese Great Wall.
Here is the wiki page for the
super-structure filament of galaxies. The star connection is unfortunately more apparent in the Chinese translations; NN, for example is literally translated as "Black Star Nebulae."

To Haruyuki, flying is part of going faster, and flying fast is the same as flying high, and flying high is the same as "transcending". There's also a strong element of "escape" rather than "self-improvement", as he wanted to escape his physical and social circumstances.
