South Korean President Yoon Seo-yeol , it can be said that he is ambitious, and he just said not long ago that in 2027, he will make South Korea the fourth largest and largest arms power in the world. Recently, he proposed a new goal, namely, landing on the moon in 2032.
According to Observer.com , Yoon Seo-yeol recently announced the "Future Space Economy Roadmap" of South Korea. In this plan, Yoon Seo-yeol pointed out that South Korean researchers will develop the "Korean" rocket engine in five years, which can be used to perform lunar landing missions. And by 2032, South Korea will not only achieve spacecraft landing on the moon, but also develop the moon's resources. By 2045, South Korea will also send the spacecraft to Mars through its own efforts.
In this regard, Yoon Seo-yue said that developing the aerospace field is crucial to South Korea. It determines whether South Korea will dominate the future world economy, and it can also solve many problems faced by human society. Building a space power is not a distant dream, but a real opportunity and hope for South Korea.
In order to achieve this goal, Yoon Seo-hyo announced that he will personally serve as the chairman of the National Space Commission. At the end of next year, South Korea will also benchmark against the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and establish the South Korean Space Agency. At the same time, we will work hard on these two aspects.
First, learn from the United States. As we all know, the United States is the earliest country in the world to carry out space activities and has always been at the world's leading level in the aerospace field. South Korea has always been the most loyal ally of the United States in Asia. Yoon Seo-hyeon said that he would develop the South Korea-US alliance into the South Korea-US space alliance in order to learn related technologies from the United States.
Second, increase investment in the aerospace field. South Korea's budget in related fields will double within five years. In 2045, at least 100 trillion won investment will be absorbed, about 539 billion yuan.
I have to say that South Korea's goal is very big. But it is not an easy thing to truly achieve this.
It should be noted that in October last year, South Korea launched the World for the first time, but the model satellite , which was equipped with the rocket, failed to successfully enter the predetermined orbit. After two delays and adjustments, it was finally successfully sent to space in the middle of this year.
In addition, when South Korea was developing the field of aerospace, it mainly relied on the equipment and technology provided by Russia at the beginning, and even needed Russian expert to guide it next to it. In other words, South Korea's technology in the field of aerospace is not well developed, and it is very difficult to land on the moon in just ten years.
You should know that even the United States, as a superpower, took 11 years from the beginning of the lunar exploration to the final successful landing of the moon.
In addition, in 1991, China began to prepare for manned moon landing. At that time, Chinese aerospace experts proposed to divide the entire lunar exploration project into three parts, namely unmanned lunar exploration, manned lunar exploration, and long-term lunar deployment. The unmanned lunar exploration part only started in 2004, and was successfully brought back to the soil from the moon in 2020.
It will be more difficult to successfully land on Mars. Currently, the only ones that can land on Mars in the world are China, the United States and the former Soviet Union.
In short, it is extremely difficult for South Korea to achieve its goals within the planned time. However, it is not impossible to accomplish with the help of the United States.
