“indigenous”

Yonhap had to find a way to take a dump on South Korea’s accomplishment.

That word is wildly inappropriate and really belittles the hard work put in by Korean scientists.

Nevertheless, well done, South Korea! Well done, indeed!

We all know that setnaffa doesn’t want Korea to develop its technologies and instead prefers that it import its technologies so that it will be weak and dependent on others.

We believe that the above is the marching order given to setnaffa by his Russian masters.

“indigenous spy satellite”

Setnaffa, I disagree.

I feel indigenous spy satellite is an excellent term.

It is certainly better than the outdated “aboriginal spy satellite” or the derogatory “filthy redskin spy satellite”.

Perhaps, when we become more enlightened as a people, “first satallites spy satallite” will the be the label of choice.

Whatever the case, colonizing space is going to need some new words in this post-colonial time.
