Episode 16: Alarm, but No Clock

Nitta expresses worry regarding the pulse-tracking bracelets each candidate wears and the stipulation that an entire team faces disqualification if a single member quits. Following mental and physical exercises, the squads must compose a letter aiming to persuade a journalist who opposes space exploration. Mutta reflects on an address by Soichi Noguchi about solving problems by shifting viewpoints. He determines they should avoid arguing and instead illustrate the third dimension offered by space, which Hibito will prove upon reaching the moon.
