Moonlight Mile Preview Special
What I want to convey is the heat.
The author of Moonlight Mile, Ootagaki Yasuo.
It’s a feeling like going up into space.
Alpinist, Noguchi Ken.
Why do people go to the Moon?
I want to go there.
Saruwatari Gorou.
There is no limit in outer space.
Lostman.
As climbing partners they conquered the highest
mountain in each of the five continents,
using their extraordinary physical strength,
during their college years.
At the peak of Mt. Everest, they saw the
ISA Space Station in outer space.
They had found a new purpose,
and each attempted to get to space in his own way.
Around the same time, a potential next-generation energy source,
Helium 3, was found on the Moon.
NASA’s next-generation energy development program,
Nexus, was announced.
A new challenge for Mankind had begun.
What is the peak of Mt. Everest that Gorou and Lostman saw?
It was around nine in the evening when I climbed.
The mountain ridge went rapidly into the darkness,
so I felt like I was climbing up into outer space.
I felt like I was in a place that humans should not enter.
Going there knowing humans should not be there…
That is an impulse.
Those who have a reason to go will probably find a reason to give up.
Those who truly want to go don’t have any reason;
they just want to go there.
People these days often think about merits and demerits.
However, there is no apparent merit to going into the high mountains.
