"

It’s truly a dream come true. I love sharing this experience with my friends. This is personal for me, as I’ve been fascinated by slime molds, slime mold algorithms, and space for a long time, so getting this experiment onto the international space station is simply astonishing. I hope we can discover some amazing things from the experiment and use this unique opportunity to expand humanity’s understanding of optimization, slime molds, and the universe.

"I can't believe that a design that I had a part of making is going to space! It is incredible what we can imagine and create when we come together, and it is thanks to my amazing teammates that we are able to have our ideas materialized and brought to life by these talented scientists."

"This program was effective in teaching me how to work and develop a project with people I had never met before, in addition to being an exciting experience."
