South Korea successfully launched its homemade space rocket, Nuri. And paved the groundwork for further ambitious space programs.

The 200-ton Nuri space rocket launched on June 21 from Naro Space Center in Goheung. An hour later, the science minister termed the launch a “monumental milestone” in the nation’s scientific and technical history.

S Korea became the sixth nation to launch a 1-tonne satellite using homegrown technology. Russia, Europe, Japan, China, and India can accomplish it.

The triumph came after fixing October’s mistakes. March 2010, 300 Korean companies have worked on the Nuri rocket. The government contributing 2 trillion won (RM6.8bil).

No country exported the necessary technology to launch a rocket, making the project difficult and costly.

Local entrepreneurs and engineers deserve credit for procuring and refining technologies to make the 370,000-part machine.

South Korea’s space capacity was limited by employing Japanese and French rockets. After the government’s big jump, things should improve and lead to a next-generation launch vehicle.

After China and Japan’s successes, South Korean officials want Nuri to enhance their confidence.

Sci-fi isn’t space. Asia to Africa are investing in space, and SpaceX highlights their economic potential.

Japan, Britain, and Australia support China’s moon and Mars missions.

South Korea should employ Nuri. Government and business should partner.

If South Korea launches a satellite, it might launch a lunar module by 2031.

After the Nuri rocket launch, President Yoon Suk-yeol founded a space agency. Ignore the dispute and reveal more.
