 After 10 years of developing a space rocket with Russia, South Korea has finally succeeded in lauching its first space rocket in its own territory. Although some of the technology used in building the Naro Rocket has been imported from Russia, the success in lauching Korea's 'own' rocket has a significant meaning in the development of aerospace engineering-a relatively unknown and undiscovered field in Korea.
 However, while there is no doubt that the successful lauching of the Naro Rocket is indeed something to celebrate, there is also a deep concern that there are other important and supposedly more urgent social issues in Korea. Is it a wise decision for Korea to spend the astrological amount of money on developing aerospace technology even when there are other urgent issues to consider, such as the relationship with North Korea, the new elected president, and welfare policies for the homeless people?
