South Korea Hopes to Advance Space Economy with Mission to Mars

2045 is a long ways off so I will believe it when I see it, however I do agree the space economy will be the next big economic driver for those who have the technology to access it:

President Yoon Suk-yeol announces Korea’s Future Space Economy Roadmap during an event at the JW Marriot Hotel in Seocho District, Seoul, Monday. Yonhap

Korea will launch a space mission to Mars no later than 2045, according to a roadmap for the nation’s space mission unveiled by President Yoon Suk-yeol on Monday. 

“A country having a space mission will lead the world economy and be able to resolve challenges human beings are facing,” Yoon said during an event to announce the country’s roadmap for the space economy at the JW Marriot Hotel in Seoul.

The space economy refers to the economy beyond our planet, including exploring deep space, extracting resources that are rare on Earth and developing technologies necessary for space exploration.

“The dream of becoming a powerhouse in space is not distant. It will be an opportunity and hope for children and the youth,” he added.

If it helps the economy and gets everyone who wants a job back to work, it’s great.

If it just sucks trillions of W from the economy, much less so.

And how are they to get to Mars if they can’t even build a logarythmic case on their turboencabulators? If they can’t stop the the side-fumbling and loss of magnedo-reluctance, they’ll never even make High Earth Orbit to build the Wheel to assemble the ship.
