I am a person with a twisted personality who cannot honestly enjoy the success of others.

However,?

When I learned of the successful launch of the H3 rocket

I was so happy that I almost cried when I learned of the "successful launch of the H3 rocket.

Engineers are in the business of continually failing.

But, sometimes, successes like this make me think -- I can't stop being an engineer.

Of course, I was also happy to hear the news of the landing of the SLIM lunar probe on the moon.

But what astonished me more was the "SLIM reboot."

"Sunlight hit the solar panels, and they started working for the first time in about nine days."

I read from this article that the engineers had to shut down communication with the system for nine days, saving power and holding still until it was time to reboot.

I (Ebata) am an impatient person, and if the system set up in the company's laboratory stops working, I try to access it by any means possible, and even if it is the middle of the night, I go to work to restart the system.

Engineers with "nine days of patience" are the critical difference between the engineers on the SLIM project and me.

This is 'the greatest compliment'.
