Season 6 Episode 21: Countdown to Business Lift-off!

Takahiro Inagawa, 29 years old, heads a start-up company that is developing low-cost rockets. He and a staff of 13 are creating small rockets to carry miniaturized satellites into space. Their plan is to provide the rockets at a fraction of the conventional cost, and this has drawn a great deal of attention. Although Inagawa wasn't able to land a job with Japan's space agency or an aerospace firm, he's now just a step away from achieving his dream of launching a rocket into space. We observe his progress on this challenging journey.
