I watched all 9+ minutes of this. It became apparent to me that Japan is ready for space travel.
If I had to fly to some distant galaxy, I would want to do it in a spaceship built by Japan.
After doing some research on the internet, I have learned that the Japanese are 4 to 5 years away from having a working Millennium Falcon prototype, which is capable of speeds in excess of 1.5 past light speed.
This picture was taken in a suburb outside of Tokyo, but is pretty much representative of any city in Japan.
Recent reports suggest robots will completely outnumber humans in Japan as early as 2021.
By 2030 robots will have completely colonized the moon, and will help in building the first Maki Yaki on Saturn's ice moon of Titan.
Safe to say when I want to buy my first robot, you can rest assured it will have been made in Japan.
All my research today on Japan taught me this: if you want to time travel, and can't afford a flying Doloreon, or don't have access to a Klingon Bird of Prey for a slingshot around the sun maneuver, you may just want to book yourself a plane ticket to Japan. 18 hours later, and you can find yourself in the year 2589.
