South Korea's President Calls on Aerospace Workers to "Rise From Your Disappointment"

South Korea’s President Lee Myung-bak made a surprise visit to his country’s Naro Space Center today to rally the space program’s workforce. On Tuesday, South Korea’s first attempt to launch a satellite into orbit failed when a fairing did not separate properly. As quoted by the Yonhap News Service, President Lee called the launch “half-successful,” adding “You may have not been able to shrug off your disappointment, but I want you to rise from your disappointment and regrets and once again charge toward your goal and that is why I am here today.”
