An agreement reached between South Korea and the United States
earlier this year to deepen space cooperation has taken effect, paving
the way for closer ties between the allies in the exploration of the
cosmos, the foreign ministry said Friday.
In April, Seoul and
Washington signed the "Framework Agreement for Cooperation in
Aeronautics and the Exploration and Use of Airspace and Outer Space for
Civil and Peaceful Purposes."
South Korea became the first Asian country to sign such a deal with the U.S., known as a leader in space exploration.
The agreement went into effect on Thursday and it is expected to
accelerate and deepen cooperation between the two countries, the
ministry said.
The agreement covers private sector cooperation
for peaceful purposes ranging from space science, earth and outer space
observation. It also covers the transfer of technology, data and
relevant intellectual property rights.
Since the agreement was reached, the allies have been beefing up efforts to strengthen their tie-ups in space.
In April, they held their second space cooperation committee meeting.
In a related move, scientists and researchers from the two countries
also formed a working group in May to discuss detailed action plans, the
ministry said.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Kept away in Mr Raymond Chong’s bedroom in his two-storey apartment
is an outfit so precious, he keeps it in a vacuum-sealed bag.
It is a blue jumpsuit with a plunging neckline and adorned with sequins.
While the 54-year-old remisier probably wouldn’t be caught dead wearing this flamboyant outfit in public now, it holds a special memory for him — it was what he wore when he was crowned Singapore’s disco king over 30 years ago.
In 1980, when he was 18, Mr Chong beat more than 30 other dancers from all over the world to clinch second place in the EMI World Disco Dancing Championship.
“My friend who owned a boutique gave me the costume as a gift and told me I would look good dancing in it,” says Mr Chong, who is married with four children.
“I’m quite surprised that after all these years, it still fits!”
Recently, a video of Mr Chong’s fancy footwork made its rounds online. New York fashion magazine Hint shared a video of the 1980 competition on Nov 4. It now has more than six million views.

S KOREA'S ANTI CORRUPTION STANCE TAKES GREATER FORM AS THE PROTEST AGAINST THE REIGNING KOREAN PRESIDENT PARK GEUN-HYE HEATS UP AGAINST HER - UP TO 1 MILLION PEOPLE PROTESTING FOR HER TO RESIGN FROM OFFICE AFTER BEING TIED TO THE UNELECTED FRIEND CHOI SOON-SIL INVOLVMENT IN GOVERNMENT POLICY MAKING WHEELING AND DEALING FOR CHOI'S BENEFIT IT WOULD SEEM -
Up to 1 million South Koreans took to the streets of central Seoul on
Saturday, demanding President Park Geun-hye’s resignation over a scandal
involving her longtime confidante Choi Soon-sil.
In the largest anti-government rally in decades, protestors flooded the streets running through City Hall, Gwangwhamun Square and Anguk Station, turning the area into a vast sea of candlelight in the evening. Streets just hundreds of meters from Park’s presidential residence of Cheong Wa Dae were also packed, with participants chanting “Park Geun-hye resign!”
Organizers said over 1 million gathered for the protest, but the police’s estimate was 260,000.
At Cheong Wa Dae, lights were seen turned on deep into the night.
The embattled president watched Saturday’s colossal protest from her residence, while her staff, in a somber mood, discussed how to cope with the situation, sources at the presidential office said.
Many had expected Saturday’s rally to be a watershed moment for Park’s presidency in a crisis sparked by allegations that she let civilian friend, Choi, manipulate power from behind the scenes. Park’s approval ratings have sunken to an abysmal 5 percent, with a majority of people demanding her immediate removal from office.
While Cheong Wa Dae kept silent Sunday, political parties on both sides of the aisle were seen clearly affected by the overwhelming demonstration of public anger.
