On Feb 11, 2012 will be the theatrical release of a dramatic movie about the Hayabusa mission. It looks like an expensive production: they built a copy of the main JAXA control room for the film.
Here is the web site: http://www.hayabusa2012.jp/index.html You can watch some trailers there. Watch the one marked 'ver 2' in particular. It's all in Japanese, but hopefully there will be an eventual DVD release with subtitles. |

Just wanted to pass on that I just (yesterday) received my blu-ray copy of Hayabusa and watched it. At first blush I would have to say I was impressed with the film, and that it is a good movie. It was engaging for even my less UMSF enthusiastic wifey-poo, and I would say for the time allotted was a good encapsulation of Hayabusa's journey and trials. It was not dry or boring and was (with my American bias / low expectations for films with a technical heart) well acted.

I think you are talking about one of the three films made on Hayabusa's journey. A few weeks ago I also went to see one of them. Whether it was true or not, two things impressed me a lot.
1. Prof Kawaguchi was apparently always scornful of those people around him in the operating team who went to shrines and temples for a safe journey for Hayabusa. He himself, in the end, though, went to a shirne when Hayabusa went missing... 2. When he came out of this shrine he accidentally came across (in the film I watched) a guy who happned to have lathed a part for hayabusa. To him he confided that his dentist had told him that his molar teeth had been so much depleted upon grinding on them during times of difficulties. Pandaneko |
