Aired on September 16, 2012
While Hibito practices piloting a space vehicle for his upcoming moon mission, Mutta mows the lawn for Ozzy. Later, Mutta joins Jennifer and Lowry, who serves as Hibito's backup, for dinner. During the meal, he learns that Takio Azuma will be the examiner for the final tests. Azuma is rumored to hold a grudge against Hibito because Hibito was chosen for the moon mission instead of him. This personal animosity creates a significant disadvantage for Mutta, complicating the situation for the team as they prepare for the critical evaluation.
