TOKYO : Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, newly returned to Japan after a 12-day journey into space last month, said being launched into the cosmos was less scary than riding a rollercoaster and made him obsessed with Earth.

"When you go into space, you become obsessed with the Earth," he told reporters on Friday."You're grateful that it has wind, that it has smells, that it has seasons." "At the time of the launch I was able to enjoy the experience," he said."I felt as if it was the start of a Shinkansen train from the station, it was so smooth. I only realised when I looked out the window."
