Due to bad weather, the launch of the HTV-X by the H3 rocket is delayed from the originally scheduled time. 
So, I made a teruterubōzu to pray for the weather to clear up from space. Since it's in space, there's no up or down, and I wasn't sure how to hang it, so I tried filming a video in a place with good weather lol.

T-10 min.  Make sure you have your sunglasses, as this will go directly into the sun.  Notice that we are already 85 meters closer to orbit.
