In his special lecture, Mr. Noguchi began by mentioning the successful launch of the H3 rocket and spoke of its significance, saying, "Japan's space development is making steady progress.” Then he talked about why decided to become an astronaut and how he made it happen, as well as his experiences on three spaceflights. Mr. Noguchi explained with deep insight about the broadened horizons and the willingness to face the unknown that he gained from his space missions, and gave an interesting talk about the impact and significance of space development on the global environment and the future of humanity. He also touched on the latest research that the ESEC is conducting on space exploration and human habitation and emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary research, including psychology, to convey to the audience the excitement and potential that space exploration holds.

Next, he commented on the importance of diversity that he learned by being an astronaut. He noted that it is essential for members of diverse backgrounds to work together as a team on space missions. He spoke of the need for proactive communication in order for diverse teams to harness their strength and he said that in today's age of uncertainty, the flexibility that diverse perspectives bring to the table is becoming increasingly important.

Mr. Noguchi concluded his lecture with a powerful message, saying "Lack of precedent is not a reason to give up on your dreams. "Keep doing what you want to do and a path will naturally open up for you.” The audience responded with resounding applause. The message that the future will open up if you pursue your dreams and continue challenging yourself was an extremely encouraging one, especially for the students and young researchers in attendance.

In response to the questionnaire conducted after the lecture, one of the participants commented, "It was very interesting because I did not expect to hear about psychology in a talk about outer space.” Yet another said they were deeply inspired by Mr. Noguchi’s comments on the diversity of teams, saying, “When I work in a team, my goal is to create a cohesive team while respecting the diversity of the members." Yet another participant said, “I want the children of today to do their best; I want them to try something unprecedented.”
