My granduncle Chuhachi Kuroiwa emigrated to Hawaii before the second world war. His descendants live in the USA with which I have much closer relations.

Petition to U.S. companies

Publishing

Companies of software hosting facilities need to advance into e-publishing. This document was written in DocBook with Emacs nxml mode. I also wrote the makefile to convert to html and EPUB. Thus code hosting site which has a WYSIWYG editor or an online office suite such as Google Drive, will be useful for amateur writers to publish essays, novels, cartoons and textbooks as well as software development. SVG, Markdown, reStructuredText, AsciiDoc and DocBook are suitable for this purpose. Of course, they should tie up with publishers like O'Reilly Media.

Artificial satellite

U.S. aerospace manufacturers should develop small space shuttle and divert it to reuseable communications satellite the cost of which is cheaper. Furthermore, there is no prospect of terraforming Mars but Venus where humanity should aim to live.
