Waiting for her in Tokyo will be a lot of work. She is going to have to go through the rigors of space exploration training at the Tokyo Space School. After hours, Asumi will focus her efforts on homework, when not earning her tuition at the neighborhood Denny's. It is not uncommon to run 20 laps around the campus each day.

This is just what she expected the TSS to be, and yet why is it so hard to envision going to space someday? With all of the work she and her classmates are accomplishing, why does space still feel so far away?
