    Will This Rocket Help Ignite A New Space Race, Or A New World War?

    Here's South Korea's first space rocket, the prosaically named Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1, whose scheduled launch was aborted today. If it ever launches, will the KSLV-1 establish South Korea as a space power, or create new tensions with North Korea? More »
