My First Game In Japan Broke Records

Ail elements are GO with the countdown at this time, the countdown aimed at landing 2 astronauts on the Moon. At this time the space- craft Test Conductor Skip Chauvin going through some checks with astronaut Mike Collins aboard the spacecraft. We're winding up this important emergency detection system test that Nell Armstrong has been participating in. Meanwhile, at the 320 foot level the closeout crew now placing the boost protective cover over the hatch now that we have completed the cabin purge and have the proper cabin environment inside the cabin. We have also performed leak checks to assure ourselves that the cabin atmosphere is valid. This boost protective cover is used during the early phases of a powered flight and it is Jettisoned with the escape tower shortly after second stage ignition. Here in the firing room the launch vehicle test team's still keeping a close eye on the status of the propellants aboard the Saturn V launch vehicle. We're back to 100 percent supply with the liquid hydrogen fuel in the third stave. This problem with the leaking valve is no problem at this time. We've actually bypassed the valve that we are matntaini_g our hydrogen supply aboard the vehicle.

I would imagine their company will see a pleasant spike in sales globally, showing this many people how dedication to ones craft should look!

[@pohorex6834]

Its extremely stupid how that went too. Like the MLB wants to make us believe that no team, not even a team like the royals, we’re willing to give up $4 mil for a cy young pitcher? He’d probably have played for less. He’s definitely been blacklisted

[@Chyeahokay]

If he played in the mlb, the dodgers were off the hook for the 20m they owed him. He went to Japan for 4 mil a season, and still gets the 20m from the dodgers. I’m almost certain he had offers from teams. But an extra 20m and a chance to stick it to your old team is worth it. Plus Japanese baseball is very competitive, and he will learn new pitches.

As a Japanese guy living in the States, Trevor's Japan Vlogs are 100x better than any other Japan Vlogs because it shows the genuine culture shock and the struggles he has/had to go through as well as how he's learning and overcoming those struggles. The other Japan Vlogs just show you what it's like when everything and anything goes how it's suppose to when you're in Japan for the first time and that rarely happens especially when you're riding the train for the first time.
