• KASA has set goals to send landing missions to the Moon in 2032, followed by Mars in 2045

    Title could be better for both here and the article.

    Not really:

    Kang stated, “We plan to demonstrate a Mars orbiter using an upgraded Nuri rocket in 2033, and launch a Mars orbiter using our next-generation launch vehicle in 2035. Subsequently, we aim to secure capabilities of 6 tons based on Mars transfer orbit standards, equivalent to 23 tons based on low Earth orbit standards, to send a Mars lander in 2045.”

    That's too long. 20 years!!

    Tbf the title reads mars mission, not a manned mars mission, though I assumed the same initially

  • You monster, why didn't you write it as

    Lunar Lander in 2032, Mars Orbiter Set for 2035

  • korea will not have enough humans remaining in 20 years to carry out this mission /s

    So the supreme leader will go himself.

  • Our nation is dying out and point of no return passed long time ago, let's address more important issues then - to the Mars we go! Yayy

    Might give some national pride which could help people be proud of their nation and have more kids

    erm, this is not how it works, lol, how do you pay for upbringing of a whole ass baby with national pride? lol

  • The Democratic Republic of?

    Good for them.  Nice to see the commies back in the race. 

    Republic of. DPR Korea is still focusing on LEO satellites for now.

    Also, the "commies" were never out of the "race," China has had their own space program since the late 60s.
