North Korea Wants Its Flag On Moon In 10 Years
This guy is serious ... 
This is a REAL article and story ... NOT from The Onion or Duffel Blog or any other satirical web site.
This is just too damn funny NOT to post it here.

North Korea Wants Its Flag On Moon In 10 Years
Kim Jong Un orders his scientists to send more advanced satellites into orbit with the ultimate aim to "conquer space".
North Korea is aiming to plant its flag on the moon within 10 years.
That is according to a director at the country's version of NASA, who also said international sanctions would not prevent them putting more advanced satellites into orbit over the next five years.
Hyon Kwang Il, a scientist at North Korea's National Aerospace Development Administration, told AP: "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."
He added that North Korean intends "to do manned spaceflight and scientific experiments in space, make a flight to the moon and moon exploration and also exploration to other planets".
Leader Kim Jong Un has ordered scientists to launch more Earth observation satellites and, in what would be a significant advance, the country's first geostationary communications satellite, Mr Hyon said.
"All of this work will be the basis for the flight to the moon," Mr Hyon said, adding that he personally would like to see that happen "within 10 years' time".
The comments were published a day after North Korea launched a missile that landed in Japanese waters for the first time in nearly 20 years.
This prompted the US to warn it was ready to defend "ourselves and our allies".
Mr Hyon denied the space program was designed to strengthen the country militarily.
He said they had already developed long-range missiles that could reach anywhere on Earth and so "there is no need for our state to use the space program for ballistic missile development".

Although, they just might be able to do it ... they do have advanced technology, whereas we got to the moon using slide rulers and protractors.

So Lord Fat Tub of Un is going to tattoo the DPRK Flag on his ass?
I imagine that it is so large that it'd take tattoo artists 10 years to get it done.

I want Kim to put his fat ass in an NK space vehicle and be the first dictator on the Moon. Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
Somehow, I doubt that it would ever get there.

What would happen if Kim Jong-Un personally planted the flag on the moon? With the idiom of, "Nature abhors a vacuum", would the space surrounding him create a super vacuum filling the void created by the temporary displacement of the moons normal vacuum or would the two vacuums cancel each other?

Anytime I read anything concerning North Korea and technology, it makes me laugh to the point of vurping. Then I am sorry for reading it in the first place! Young Kim is a tool of the highest order!

Wife (watching Olympic march) asked me last night, literally, "WTH is North Korea doing in Rio...?"
Me: "Uh, maybe they're hungry."

Yep...I told my wife that as I was watching them walk into the arena, it looked as though they were afraid to laugh and show any emotion. In fact, the three or four crumbs walking in front of the athletes looked like Kim's "old-school snitches" sent their to report back if the athletes were actually having too much fun.
