    So this is a nice little video about a space mission between the american and japanese space agencies. The Dual Frequency Precipitation radar launched as a part of the GPM Core Observatory which successfully launched from Tanegashima Space Center, Japan, on February 27th, 2014 at 1:37pm EST. It's still in orbit the moment i am writing this review. About the actual video: As you would expect from such a short video, the story is pretty poor but it actually exists so not too bad for 6 mins i guess. The animation is actually very good, some nice space shots and the characters are also nicely done.The music is not particularly to my liking. The characters say a total of 3-4 lines so nothing there. I kind of enjoyed it because of the animation and the fact that it was based on reality. Overall a decent video, wouldn't recommend against watching it.
