The flight to Planet X

How was Japan able to build a space ship that could reach Planet X in such a short time? And how were they able to breathe on that planet? And Japan before leaving for Planet X, came up with the name of Planet X as a new planet just past Jupiter. How did Japan know the aliens called it Planet X also?

I think the bigger question is, what does Ghidorah eat on planet X, and when passing Jupiter, why didn't they see any of Jupiter's moons?

Perhaps they had a spaceship capable of getting there already, and simply used it when the new planet was discovered. In any case, what do you mean by 'a short time'? I don't recall them ever stating how long it was after they discovered the new planet that they traveled there.

And how were they able to breathe on that planet?

There are indication of limited atmosphere on planet X. Glenn stats 'the pressure is about half' relative to Earth. Most would interpret that to mean air pressure, as in atmosphere. They never specify the makeup of that atmosphere, but one might assume it is oxygen, if beings so similar to humanity exist there.

How did Japan know the aliens called it Planet X also?

Because coming up with some other unique name for the planet would add nothing to the story being told. Unnecessary.

I think there are far more obvious questions to ask. For instance. If the people of Planet X can capture and transport Godzilla and Rodan anywhere they like within the range of their transport ships, then why not simply use them to capture Monster Zero? As and Earth Man, that would be my question, and nobody seems inclined to ask it.

My point is, you are asking some silly questions of a silly film. Just enjoy it for what it is.
