There was a big news of the Japanese astronaut Mr. Wakata Koichi (若田光一). He will be a commander of the 29th ISS Expedition which starts at the end of 2013 and lasts for about 6 months. He will be the first Japanese that will be a captain of the spaceship. To be an astronaut is hard, to be a commander is even harder. Congratulations!
