Listen to what some are calling the “greatest human achievement of our time”. Although this podcast episode was recorded a few years ago, North Korea’s achievement has yet to be repeated by any other nation. While in the US, Eugene stumbled across a news article from North Korea. It highlighted how an amazing 17-year-old North Korean astronaut, Hung Il Gong, had managed to go to the sun, land and return within a 22-hour window; thus beating every other nation to put an astronaut on the sun.

Learn how the North Korean astronaut was able to pull off “landing on the sun” and why the North Korean government reported these incredible events.
