It is understood that the 17-year-old ‘space explorer’ traveled at night to avoid being engulfed by the suns rays, and that this genius approach has brought the soviet state to the top of the global space rankings.
How come we never thought of that?

Because you already noticed its dark up there in space so no need to worry about daytime saving rates.

That kind of mass mental destabilisation is terrifying and intriguing in equal measure.

Sadly, all this thread seems to show is that there is no hoax regarding North Korea that is too ridiculous to be believed by somebody...

Some people look for any excuse to ridicule North Korea.

Earth to the sun in four hours...

The light takes around 8 minutes to get here from the sun.

That's one very fast space craft.


Departed at 3 AM, arrived at the sun at 7 AM. Scientific experiments done between 7 AM and 5 PM. Left the sun at 5 PM to arrive in Lalaland by 9 PM.

The whole of South-East Asia is going to be surprised, and terrified.

I think they will always have another nutter to take over and keep the population in the dark, not that they could do much anyway being starved half to death.
