Notes
astronaut 宇宙飛行士;

************************
The Crew Dragon spacecraft has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). The 4-member crew joins 3 other astronauts who were already on the ISS. One of the members is Soichi Noguchi, who is visiting the ISS for the third time. There is one problem, however. There are only 6 places to sleep on the ISS. One person has to sleep in the Crew Dragon. Will they use “jan-ken-pon” to decide? No, actually, the head of the mission, Mike Hopkins, will sleep there. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

What Japanese snack is long and thin and covered with chocolate? It even has a special day named after it. If you guessed you are correct. It is Glico’s longest-selling product. They started selling it in 1966, and it became one of the most popular snacks in Japan and in other Asian countries. Now people eat Pocky all around the world. It has become so popular that it now holds the Guinness World Record as the best-selling chocolate-coated biscuit brand of 2019. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
