Ep. 32: Mutta stays in Houston while candidates return to Japan for moon landing results
Aired on November 11, 2012
Candidates celebrate Hibito's launch and prepare to return to Japan, awaiting results one week after the lunar landing, but Mutta chooses to remain in Houston until the event occurs. During the journey to the moon, Hibito gives an interview aboard the Orion that is broadcast throughout Japan. While Mutta spends time with Jennifer, she introduces him to Azuma and his family. Azuma shakes Mutta's hand and invites him to join them, allowing Mutta to learn more about Azuma from his wife. That night, Azuma reflects on the intense press pressure she endured after orbiting the moon and recalls how Brian Jay recommended Hibito as the first person to walk on the moon.
