FlareRocket

Image
  I founded a company called FlareRocket. 【Mission】 FlareRocket is a startup based in the United States developing a nuclear fusion rocket capable of flying 100 times faster than existing rockets. Our mission is to deepen humanity’s understanding beyond the solar system. We are building space infrastructure that enables exploration of the outer solar system by traveling faster, more efficiently, and more affordably — all to discover new laws of the universe. 【Why do it?】 In high school, my earth science teacher told me: "The universe is expanding. However, humanity’s travel speed is negligible compared to the rate of cosmic expansion. There is a high chance that humanity will become extinct before we understand the universe beyond the solar system." I was convinced this was wrong. To truly understand the universe more deeply, unimaginably high speeds are fundamentally necessary. While we respect the wisdom of our predecessors, we do not intend to accept their theories uncr...

My Calling

  On a whim, I visited the UK. As I was walking through a beautiful town, I was unexpectedly approached by an elderly Japanese couple. “You radiate an incredible energy,” they told me. Over dinner with them, our conversation drifted from the fact that I am developing a nuclear fusion rocket in the United States, to my efforts to release my own attachments and fears, to the way I try to move with the natural flow, create miracles, and maintain a sense of connection with the universe. We spoke of how the universe within the mind shapes the universe in reality. As we talked, I quickly came to understand the traumas and attachments they had carried for years—and that they still could not completely let go, leaving them with lingering regrets. I shared many things with them, but in the end, I told them: “Someone like me will release the attachments, fears, and pains for people like you. So please, rest easy.” As we parted ways, they said to me, “You are salvation.” In that mome...

Fear

Image
  I barely attended university.  At 18, I touched a computer seriously for the first time, and for the next two years, I was consumed by personal projects. Looking back now, I realize what drove me was fear.  I was fiercely competitive, vain, and constantly aggressive.  I obsessed over scores—and, for better or worse, I had the ability to achieve them.  I fixated on technology and capitalism as a way to justify my aggression. At 18, the crypto media outlet I founded took off, earning me more money than I could have imagined at my age.  At 19, I joined a startup as a founding member, and within a year it was acquired by a publicly listed company. Yet, despite the praise from others, I couldn’t praise myself.  Every time an investor told me they wanted to invest, a hollow pit opened in my stomach.  All I could do was raise my “score” in the form of money, and that realization felt suffocating. I was vaguely afraid of people.  Believing ...
