South Korean Astronauts to Fly to the ISS

This is absolutely brilliant of South Korea. This may be the killer app
you guys have been looking for. 30 million is chump change for any small
nation - 20 million for the flight, and 10 million for operations and
advertising. I would like to see double flights, a single pilot and two
passengers - for instance, an Isreali and a Palestinian, or a Christian
and a Muslim, although the purpose of this particular endeavor is to
foster interest in the natural sciences, rather than imaginary science.

Kudos to the South Koreans! They are once again ahead of the curve here.

Buy a seat on the shuttle did they, or is the money going to the
Russians?

It's going to the Russians as far as I know. Do you actually think NASA
or this current administration is smart enough to figure this one out,
or even wish to promote a general populace interested in the sciences?

Naaaa, they'd rather spend 30 bills to send them off to bible college.

It's all over the news, look it up, if you have the necessary skills.

Why not allow a few North Koreans?

They could accomplish all of those pesky EVAs without having to waste
another space suit, when a zip-lock bag is just as good.
