"I think there's a lot we can both gain from UC-Himeyan joint space projects; I know for a fact that Himeyan education puts a heavy emphasis on the sciences, and that many of our youth are genuinely interested in learning about the stars; the unfortunate fact of the matter is that my predecessor wasn't nearly as passionate about space exploration as I am, and left the Himeyan Stellar Research Unit in the dark for their term."
In the seat behind her, Kang-Min had been practicing his Gaelic while speaking with some of the locals, it was heavily accented, and there were certain sounds involved in the language that a native Himeyan speaker couldn't force themselves to make without extensive practice, though the locals seemed to have appreciated his attempts and helped him along.
"As for what our nation can contribute, not to brag, but I think we've quite a grasp on robotics and AI; something we're quite proud of as a nation. I believe our friends in Ahkabnil have so far handled most of the rocketry; but they couldn't do much in low orbit without our help. Also we've developed plenty of astronaut food." The premier said with a giggle. "Naturally, now that I'm in office and we're getting HSRU back onto its feet, we'd be absolutely thrilled to work with UC on space exploration."
