I would have to see this to believe it:
South Korea plans to launch a lunar probe in 2020 and make a moon landing by 2025 under a new space project that will develop indigenous rockets to put satellites into orbit, the Science Ministry said on Tuesday. The lunar probe program will be based on a rocket South Korea is developing at a cost of 3.6 trillion won ($3.9 billion) in the next decade. [Jack Kim - AP]
How come I have the feeling that South Korea’s "lunar program" will consist of paying the Russians or Chinese millions of dollars to allow a "Korean astronaut" to tag along on their rocket?

Somehow I think they aren’t factoring in the trillions of dollars they will have to pay for unification.

Do you actually think anyone in South Korea really wants unification? Them paying for unification is about as likely as them paying to actually make a real manned space program to put an ajashi on the moon.

Who to bribe? More importantly, how will they blame America (and low quality Canadian english teachers) if they fail?

Don’t forget the blame Japan angle as well.

If they were to piggy back to space using some American technology, they would need to read the instructions and yes it would be the Canadians fault if the pressed the wrong button.
