PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea’s Space Force has for the first time successfully launched a "totally willing human" into space, according to a press release from the Korean Central News Agency.
“The stars now belong to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,” the statement reads. “Under the divine guidance of Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, the dauntless people of Korea have colonized the heavens. We also thank the courageous cosmonaut Mun Jong Chun, who manned the Kkamjjag Babo rocket, completely of his own free will.”
The rocket name reportedly translates to “Surprise, fool!”
The statement credited the unexpected leap forward in space capabilities to “the divine wisdom of our Supreme Leader, the ceaseless work of the people of our nation, and recent advances in rope.”
