With the recent success of Boeing’s Spaceplan and SpaceX’s Starship, we need to remember that not every country needs to be part of the space age.
Fortunately, less that two weeks ago we learned that lesson when North Korea flubbed it launch of a spy satellite that was sure to cause problems. The rocket did not even make it past it’s first stage.
Unfortunately, North Korea already has a single spy satellite in orbit.
North Korea appears to be having much better luck launching rubbish-filled balloons and sending them into South Korean airspace. The South Korean government called the gesture ““unimaginably petty and low-grade behaviour.”
