Yusaku Maezawa, a Japanese entrepreneur who completed a 12-day space trip and returned home last month, said at a press conference in Tokyo that launching into space is less terrifying than riding a rollercoaster. “You realize its value when you remember that there are winds, smells, and seasons on Earth,” Maezawa said, noting that seeing space makes him obsessed with Earth.
Maezawa made a statement about his new goal, saying, “Not only do I want to travel up, but also down. I’m considering diving to the Mariana Trench in the ocean’s depths.” “I want to keep facing challenges,” Maezawa said of his intention to dive into the Mariana Trench, the world’s deepest known point. Maezawa said that many details about the new travel destination have been clarified, but that he will not make a statement for now.
