Summary:

Will you ever forget when Japan's first manned space shuttle, the
Lion, crashed? It's a day that will permamently be in the hearts of
thousands of people who witnessed the tragedy firsthand, and the many
more who were directly impacted by the accident. But as in most
cases, time will erode such memories. People and communities will
often move on. And those who are left hurting, may build a resentment
towards much more than the crash itself. Asumi is now in her second
term at the Tokyo Space School. After struggling to be accepted into
this elite program and some hardships once she was admitted, she
quickly found herself developing her skills and her character through
the many trails the school administered. Despite her deminutive size,
Asumi has a huge heart and equally powerful drive and she will not
accept failure as an option. So when she is confronted by protestors
demonstrating against Japan's space program, she is torn by the
memories of her past, which include her deceased mother, and the
dreams she is working so hard to attain.
