Congratulations to Japan's Space Agency!
Japan returned to space with last Saturday's launch of the H-IIA, some 15 months after a previous launch had failed. This one seems to have been a complete success, putting communications satellite MTSAT-1R in orbit.
The success seems to have increased chances for a major boost in Japan's Space Agency funding, and, according to this space.com report, new plans may include a lunar base and reusable shuttle.
