In the summer of 2001, Japan launched a new large-size rocket named H-IIA.

After eight years of successuful operation of the H-IIA, a new version of H-II, called H-IIB, is now under development in Japan. It will have a capability to launch 16.5 tons of cargoes to the orbit 300km above the ground.
The H-IIB is expected to be first launched during 2009.

The basic paradigm for the 21st century economy must probably be created around the space-scale of the future view of mankind.
Yet, we had better check the present state of the space industry today:
----------------------
San Diego, California – June 11, 2008 – The Satellite Industry Association (SIA) today released its 2008 State of the Satellite Industry Report, showing a 16 percent growth in global revenues for the commercial satellite industry. Worldwide revenues in 2007 were $123 billion, representing an average annual growth of 11.5 percent for the period from 2002-2007...
Satellite services revenues continued to drive the overall industry, with a 60 percent total share of industry revenues. Detailed findings of the report indicate that:
- Satellite services revenues grew more than 18 percent, with satellite television contributing nearly three-quarters of the $73.9 billion in 2007 satellite services revenues.
- Launch services revenue grew to $3.2 billion in 2007, increasing nearly 19 percent from 2006.
- Strong sales in consumer hardware resulted in a 19 percent rise in ground equipment revenues over the previous year, posting 2007 revenues of $34.3 billion.
- More satellites were launched in 2007 than in 2006, but satellite manufacturing revenues dipped slightly from $11.6 billion, reflecting a higher number of microsatellites launched.

What inhibits deployment of mankind in the outer space is not technology.
It is a level of humanity of mankind.
With such greed and malevolence in addition to disregard of the poor and the weak, which are often observed among successful Americans, Europeans, and Chinese, mankind must not be allowed to advance to the universe.
Yet, technically, mankind needs an economic paradigm of the 21st century with a greater view on the earth and its future, namely in the scale of the whole planet.
In this context, a frontier spirit toward the space is more acceptable than a greedy spirit being embodied on the subprime loan-based money making on Wall Street.
If you without enough love to your enemies don't discover how much tainted or crooked your mind gets when looking up at the blue sky in the spring, your spirit might not be sound and righteous at all.
Anyway, the future is for young people; and I suppose they love the space.
Let an old paradigm pass, since a cannon can deliver the dirge of the end of an era.
It is so, since I don't care sometimes whether it is fired or even not.
(Quel est le temps et l'espace, tout comme l'argent et le confort sans la foi et l'amour, mon ami? Yet, the fearful God sometimes directly commands time and space surrounding your existence and life. Have at least a natural fear of God, if He is so benevolent to mankind...
