In those days, rocket technology was high-tech, but it wasn’t about rockets aimed for space, it was about rockets that did “body blows to an enemy ship” referred to as kamikaze soldier rockets.
Many engineers lament, as many young pilots had sacrificed themselves in these metal coffins, those wounds won't vanish. It’s left us feelings of regret and that life is precious.
However, the records will diminish, the memories will fade, and the reality is it soon regrettably coming to be nothing. It's fact this should not be buried into history, even if the wound is opened, this history must be passed on and remembered.
