To NASA Ames Research Center.

When I was a child, I wanted to work at NASA.

That's why I chose a university that offers a degree program in aerospace engineering.

I wondered if it was a longing for a world no one had ever seen before.

In the end, I went into the digital world, but,

This is a world that creates worlds no one has ever seen before.

I was asked to show my passport at the entrance.

I guess that makes sense.
