Interesting, especially considering China's moon plans. Perhaps this is the start of an Asian space race...
Right now, the NASA yearly budget is only about 16.5 billion, so if Japan goes through with its plans, the U.S. would certainly have more incentive for a budget increase to help the moon/Mars program.

Or congres would have an excuse to kill space funding alltogether- Japan's our ally after all.

That'd be nice if North Korea spent their efforts on heading into space instead of blowing people up. Although, they really should see about feeding their own people first.

Well, Japan to start thinking about it, anyway.

There's a James Bond/Austin Powers joke here somewhere but I can't seem to bother brining it up.

I'm with Jason, it's crazy talk about North Korea going into space. With Kim Jong Il still in charge, their going into space would probably mean deploying nuclear weapons up there.

So you're saying Kim Jong Il is going into space to blow up the moon with nuclear weapons to feed its life-giving radiation-tainted cheese to the people of North Korea in an attempt to create mutant tiger trainers?
