Story

At 9:22 AM on February 17th, I had the opportunity to witness the inaugural launch of Japan's first new large rocket in 22 years, the H3 rocket, from Tanegashima in Kagoshima Prefecture. Watching a man-made object soar into the sky and head for space made me think, "Is this really happening?"

Of course, I always knew rockets are frequently launched into space. Seeing it firsthand, I was truly amazed by the efforts of those who worked to send this rocket into space.

Despite the high expectations for the first H3 rocket, its launch ended in failure, resulting in significant losses. I can easily imagine the immense pressure on the project members to ensure the success of this second rocket, which I witnessed.

Witnessing the launch of this second rocket made me deeply realize the importance of challenging oneself. The key is to keep trying and not give up, even in the face of failure. Remembering this, I have vowed to continue my efforts to become a great photographer.

Effort is the fuel that can take you anywhere. Even to space.

Look great for dress up up casual
Size: 13, Color: Black Leather/Optic White
I wear them every day for work. They are comfortable and light. I will say I was frustrated with the crease in the top that started the first time I wore them but other than that they are a great pair of shoes.

Hard to Beat for the Price
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Tan Leather Burnished
I purchased these for a business trip to Italy and wore them daily for the two weeks that I was there, during which I walked extensively. For me, there was a break-in period of a few days; before it loosens up, it will bite your heel, so I recommend wearing bandages or heel pads initially. Following the break-in, it's a very comfortable shoe and has served me well. I purchased a wide, and for this shoe, I found the width agreeable; in my experience, Cole Haan wide widths tend to be hit or miss (i.e., a wide is sometimes not all that wide). In terms of durability, I would not expect these to remain in good condition for more than a year if you wear them daily. The leather is not of high quality, but it's acceptable for the price. Expect them to crease very quickly if not using shoe trees. That doesn't bother me, but I know some find it objectionable. All in all, I like them and would buy them again. It's a comfortable alternative to traditional dress shoes for the office and works equally well for casual wear. Most higher quality options cost at least two or three times as much, and many are unavailable in a wide.

My favorite shoes
Size: 14 Wide, Color: White Leather
I’ve probably purchased like 40 pairs of these shoes or more. By far my favorite white sneaker. I have a large foot so the bigger sizes are appreciated. They’re versatile, literally go with anything and they are true to size. At a certain point they start to show wear and you can’t dress them up, but they last as a regular sneaker for a long time afterwards. I try to nab them on sale when they drop to $50-$70, absolute steal at that price point.
