SUMMARY:A Hydrogen-Grilled Dinner Celebrating the Landings of Apollo 11 and Viking 1
DESCRIPTION:HydrogenCuisine\nDo you know what significance July 20 holds? \n\n\n\n“International Moon Day” was established in 2021 to commemorate humanity’s first moon landing by Apollo 11 on July 20\, 1969\, and to raise global awareness regarding the peaceful use of outer space and the importance of sustainable lunar exploration. \n\n\n\nMoon Association \n\n\n\n\nWelcome to the International Moon Day \n\n\n\n\nFurthermore\, July 20 also marks the day in 1976 when the Mars probe Viking 1 landed on Mars\, following the Soviet Union’s Mars 1 mission. \n\n\n\nThis year marks the 50th anniversary of the lander touching down on the Chryse Planitia (Plains of Gold) on Mars at 20:53 on July 20\, 1976 (11:53 UTC). It transmitted the first color images from the Martian surface. \n\n\n\nRegarding the launch vehicles for these landers: Apollo 11 used the Saturn V\, while Viking 1 used the Titan IIIE. Notably\, the Titan IIIE featured the Centaur stage—the first rocket stage to utilize liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as propellants. \n\n\n\nThe development of hydrogen liquefaction technology—capable of achieving cryogenic temperatures of 20K (-253°C)—was primarily conducted at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. This technology remains significant today\, drawing attention for its role in hydrogen storage within the context of renewable energy systems. \n\n\n\nWith this in mind\, we would like to host a dinner event featuring hydrogen-cooked cuisine\, where we can reflect on space exploration and the future of a circular energy society on Earth. Due to venue constraints\, participation is limited to a small group of six people on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n\n\n\nWe received feedback from several participants of “Yuri’s Night” (held on April 12\, 2026) expressing a desire for regular\, casual gatherings centered around space-related themes. In the past\, I frequently organized space-related events at venues like Tokyo Culture Culture\, which led to the formation of research groups and startups. Although I hadn’t taken the lead on such events recently\, I hosted a gathering on the evening of May 29 (Friday)—the final day of SPEXA—at the Kyoto Shabu-Shabu CHIRIRI Shinagawa branch.\nWe enjoyed a delicious meal and drinks while engaging in deep\, off-the-record conversations about space. \n\n\n\nFor the upcoming event\, we plan to meet at “icHi\,” a restaurant in Hamamatsucho known for its hydrogen-grilled cuisine. https://ichi-tokyo.jp/ \n\n\n\nAddress: 1-23-6 Hamamatsucho\, Minato-ku\, Tokyo 105-0000 Map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/feAHkDS9d7aaT2wi6 Seating: 6 counter seats (plus two tables for four) \n\n\n\nWe are planning a 13\,000-yen course (drinks separate) with a maximum of 6 counter seats\, allowing us to watch the hydrogen-grilling process. \n\n\n\nTo help with restaurant arrangements\, I would appreciate it if you could indicate your intention to attend by clicking the “Join” button as soon as possible—even if it is just a tentative decision. \n\n\n\nDue to reservation requirements\, I will close the initial headcount at 5:00 PM on Sunday\, July 12. (Changes can still be made after that time.) \n\n\n\nIt is deeply moving to reflect on how the space events I organized in the past—such as Yuri’s Night and Japan’s first World Space Week event at Tokyo Culture Culture—have served as catalysts\, meeting grounds for startups\, and driving forces for projects that are now in the spotlight. These events paved the way for initiatives like the private lunar exploration project HAKUTO (with its inclusive public participation and sponsorship strategies) and fostered international networks and policy proposals among young space professionals at forums like the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. Amidst the increasingly tense situation in the Middle East—which is forcing a re-evaluation of petroleum-based energy and highlighting the need for autonomous alternative energy sources—I spent the past year in Yamanashi Prefecture (a hub for hydrogen initiatives) working on a project to develop a hydrogen liquefaction magnetic refrigeration system. That project\, based at the Yonekura-yama Next-Generation Energy R&D Village (Nesrad)—located near the planned site for the Maglev Shinkansen station at the Kofu-Minami Interchange—involved optimizing the distribution of locally produced renewable energy (including storage\, transport\, and utilization). Now that I have returned to Yokohama\, I hope to build connections that can serve as a catalyst for the next steps in resolving these challenges.

SUMMARY:Luna e Psiche: Ritmi\, Visioni\, Futuri
DESCRIPTION:La seconda edizione della Festa della Luna\, organizzata dal Circolo culturale Corso Umberto\, si svolgerà nell’omonimo Corso a Pantelleria Centro\, lunedì 20 luglio. Si tratta di una celebrazione collettiva che intreccia performance artistiche\, mostre fotografiche e momenti collettivi per esplorare la relazione profonda tra la Luna e la psiche umana.\nL’edizione 2026\, costruita attorno al tema ufficiale “One Moon\, One Vision\, One Future”\, è interpretata attraverso una prospettiva mediterranea: la Luna come simbolo comune della ciclicità del tempo\, di trasformazione attraverso culture e generazioni diverse.\nLa Festa della Luna trova le radici nel paesaggio naturale di Pantelleria e nella sua cultura— un’isola vulcanica dove il mare\, il vento e il cielo sono sempre stati protagonisti. È un invito a guardare insieme verso l’alto\, e a riconoscere nella Luna un linguaggio comune dell’umanità.\nL’evento comprende performance artistiche ispirate ai cicli lunari e alla loro risonanza nel corpo e nella mente\n– Mostra fotografica di Nicola Ferrari “Rocce Lunari” che esplora il paesaggio lunare di Pantelleria\n– “Ciaula scopre la Luna ” di L. Pirandello. Drammatizzazione a cura di Antonietta Valenza e Lucia Boldi\n–  Presentazione con l’Autore del libro “Volevo un tè al limone. La mia vita da bipolare” di Fabio   Macaluso a colloquio con Ferruccio Osimo\, psichiatra e scrittore. Il termine “bipolare” contiene il concetto dei due poli\, due estremi\, due facce della stessa cosa. Come la luna piena e la luna nuova\, come la luce e il buio come l’oscillare continuo (ciclicità) che non si può fermare ma che bisogna saper navigare per sopravvivere.\n– Spettacolo di Teatro Danza con coinvolgimento del pubblico a cielo aperto. “Lunario” con Giulia Pesole\, Viola Centi e Gabriele Manfredi. Le sonorità popolari interpretano la “memoria sociale” dei popoli mediterranei con le tradizioni legate alla cultura contadina in rapporto alle fasi lunari. La “festa” è intesa come momento di aggregazione\, corteggiamento e sollievo alle fatiche estenuanti del lavoro agricolo. \n\n\n\nE inoltre…\n– installazione della luna su Corso Umberto\n– allestimento vetrine a tema lunare\n– Info Point di Astronomy Pantelleria con Leonardo Puleo che metterà a disposizione un telescopio per “catturare” in diretta le immagini del cielo e proiettarle su schermo in diretta \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe second edition of the Moon Festival\, organized by the Corso Umberto Cultural Association\, will take place on Monday\, 20 July\, along Corso Umberto in the center of Pantelleria. \n\n\n\nThe festival is a collective celebration that brings together artistic performances\, photographic exhibitions\, and shared experiences to explore the profound relationship between the Moon and the human psyche. \n\n\n\nThe 2026 edition\, built around the official theme “One Moon\, One Vision\, One Future\,” is interpreted through a Mediterranean perspective\, presenting the Moon as a shared symbol of the cyclical nature of time and of transformation across cultures and generations. \n\n\n\nThe Moon Festival is deeply rooted in Pantelleria’s natural landscape and cultural heritage\, an island shaped by volcanic forces\, where the sea\, the wind\, and the sky have always played a central role. It is an invitation to look up together and recognize the Moon as a universal language shared by all humanity. \n\n\n\nThe event includes: \n\n\n\n\nArtistic performances inspired by the lunar cycles and their resonance within the body and the mind.\n\n\n\nThe photographic exhibition “Lunar Rocks” by Nicola Ferrari\, exploring Pantelleria’s Moon-like landscape.\n\n\n\nA theatrical adaptation of “Ciaula Discovers the Moon” by Luigi Pirandello\, performed by Antonietta Valenza and Lucia Boldi.\n\n\n\nA conversation with author Fabio Macaluso about his book “I Wanted Lemon Tea: My Life with Bipolar Disorder\,” in dialogue with psychiatrist and writer Ferruccio Osimo. The term bipolar embodies the idea of two poles\, two extremes\, two sides of the same reality\, much like the full Moon and the new Moon\, light and darkness\, and the continuous oscillation\, or cyclical rhythm\, that cannot be stopped but must instead be understood and navigated in order to live with it.\n\n\n\nAn open-air dance theatre performance\, “Lunario\,” featuring Giulia Pesole\, Viola Centi\, and Gabriele Manfredi\, with audience participation. Through traditional folk music\, the performance explores the social memory of Mediterranean peoples and their agricultural traditions connected to the phases of the Moon. The “festival” is portrayed as a time for gathering\, courtship\, and relief from the exhausting demands of agricultural work.\n\n\n\n\nIn addition\, visitors can enjoy: \n\n\n\n\nA large Moon installation along Corso Umberto.\n\n\n\nShop window displays decorated with lunar-themed installations.\n\n\n\nAn Astronomy Pantelleria information point\, where Leonardo Puleo will provide a telescope to capture live images of the night sky and project them onto a screen in real time.

SUMMARY:Frontier Business Consortium Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:Space development toward the moon\, Cis-Lunar\, and Mars is becoming increasingly active both domestically and internationally as a “future” market that is expected to develop in the medium to long term. In response to this situation\, Mitsubishi Research Institute\, Inc. and ispace\, Inc. launched the “Frontier Business Consortium” at the end of 2016 with the aim of playing a leading role without lagging behind the global trend. Currently\, about 50 companies from various industries\, from large companies to startups\, are participating.\nOver the past decade since its establishment\, lunar development has seen increasing activity driven by both public and private sector players. In Japan as well\, in addition to initiatives such as the Space Strategy Fund\, private-sector-led projects are rapidly accelerating.\nAgainst this backdrop of growing global momentum toward commercialization led by private actors\, this symposium will look back on the achievements and knowledge accumulated to date\, and explore the future vision for the next decade as the field transitions from conceptual planning to implementation and commercialization phases.\nWe warmly invite companies interested in new space-related business opportunities to participate in this symposium.
