Aspiring astronaut Mutta Nanba has been deemed a qualified candidate to potentially be selected for NASA's upcoming mission to Mars. Now, he must pass the final stage of the selection process where he and his fellow candidates must undergo a series of challenging physical tests that will determine if they have what it takes to travel to space.
In episode 5, we see Mutta and his fellow candidates arrive at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, ready to take on the physical tests that will ultimately decide their fates. The candidates are immediately put through a grueling series of exercises, including a giant centrifuge that simulates the G-forces they will experience during launch and re-entry. They must also undergo a series of strenuous endurance tests, as well as a swimming exam that measures their aquatic abilities.
As the tests continue, Mutta becomes increasingly nervous about his chances of passing. He struggles with the endurance tests and fears that his age (he is older than most of the other candidates) may be a hindrance. However, he refuses to give up and continues to push himself to his limits.
The pressure is heightened when Mutta and the others learn that they will only be able to take a 30-minute break in between the exhausting tests. They must use this time wisely to refuel and recharge, both physically and mentally, in order to keep up with the demanding pace.
Throughout the episode, we see Mutta's determination and resilience tested as he struggles to keep up with the younger and fitter candidates. However, he finds strength in his passion for space exploration and the support of his fellow candidates who encourage him to keep pushing forward.
As the selection process progresses, tensions rise as the candidates realize that their dreams of becoming astronauts are on the line. It becomes clear that only a select few will make it through and Mutta must come to terms with the possibility of not being chosen.
In the end, season 1 episode 5 of Space Brothers is a test of physical and mental endurance, as Mutta and his fellow candidates push themselves to their limits in order to pursue their dreams of space exploration. With suspenseful and exciting action, it's an episode that will leave viewers rooting for Mutta and invested in his journey towards the stars.
