Nothing Can Check DPRK from Developing Space: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, January 15 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Sunday says in an article that nothing can check the DPRK from conquering outer space.

The article cites facts to prove that the U.S. has tried to ban the DPRK from launching a satellite by abusing the name of the UN while persistently denying the peaceful purpose of the satellite launch, recognized by the world community, and labeling it as "long-distance missile launch".

But, the U.S. and its vassal forces' heinous blackmail and sanctions could not deter the DPRK from exercising its legitimate right as a satellite manufacturing and launching state, the article says, and goes on:

The DPRK's space development project is not a work that it can give up by others' opposition. It is a fixed resolution and will of the DPRK to push back the frontiers of science and technology in developing space with the dignity and self-respect of the nation.

It is its consistent stand and policy to provide the people with more civilized and abundant material and cultural life by turning space to good account and thus bring a bright future of the nation.

The DPRK will continue launching satellites for a peaceful purpose and emerge a space power to be envied by the world.
