Isn't North Korea just hilarious?
Link to article here.
Quote:North Korea is aiming to send an unmanned mission to plant a flag on the moon within the next 10 years, but for now, scientists say, the country’s space agency will focus on launching additional indigenous advanced military satellites into orbit.
"Even though the US and its allies try to block our space development, our aerospace scientists will conquer space and definitely plant the flag of the DPRK on the moon,” Hyon Kwang Il, director of the scientific research department of North Korea's National Aerospace Development Administration told AP.
But the next five-year plan to be implemented by the republic’s leader Kim Jong Un will focus on launching first geostationary communications satellite to add to a fleet of two, KMS-3-2 and KMS-4, already believed to be orbiting the planet.

What exactly is happening over there, anyway? From what I've heard of it, it reads like a real life version of 1984.

Haha North Korea....the US has already been there, done that, got the t-shirt and used live bodies to do it. You're over 40 years late mutha fuckers.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's just a totalitarian hellhole ruled by a bunch of psychotic nutjobs who constantly threaten to turn the world into a nuclear wasteland -- but the truth is they can't do shit.
The regime will fall one day.

A little ambitious. They can't yet get a rocket all the way to Japan.

I watched the first moon landing on TV. 
This recent escapee from TTA forums is on heavy drugs costing $25.000.00 per week. They affect my mind at times. Excuse me if I react out of the norm.

I would have watched it too, but I was born a few years shy.
Ona much more awesome note.....my daddy helped work on the Apollo space missions in the 60's. He was an aerospace engineer (fancy term for a rocket scientist).

I asked my North Korean friend what it's like living there, he said "I cant complain".

Let's hope Big Brother didn't see what he did there.

But NK doesn't need to plant a flag on the moon to plant a flag on the moon. All that has to happen is for them to tell their citizens that they HAVE planted a flag on the moon, then order the citizens to believe it. That's the joy of totalitarianism.
