North Korea confirms it has landed a man on the Sun North Korea sends a 17-year-old man to the Sun, a journey that took just four hours
By: Anthony Garreffa
This just in: North Korea has landed a man on the Sun. 17-year-old Hung Il Gong started his journey at 3am this morning, travelling alone, to reach our nearest star, a journey that took him just 4 hours.
A North Korean central news anchorman said during a live broadcast: "We are very delighted to announce a successful mission to put a man on the sun. North Korea has beaten every other country in the world to the sun. Hung Il Gong is a hero and deserves a hero's welcome when he returns home later this evening".
Hung is expected back on Earth in just a few hours time, where he will be greeted by his uncle, and supreme leader: Kim Jong-un. Hung traveled in the cover of darkness, as it would protect him from the harsh, and extreme temperatures of the Sun. Hung will also be bringing back some sun spot samples for his uncle, which I'm sure he will show off to the world in a short amount of time.
I just refreshed and that came up first. LMAO
People always assumed it would be too hot...but they landed at night.
That joke was old when I told it in 2nd grade in 1966.
To go 6,000 mi/s is an achievement indeed.
Even if they are lying about having made it to the sun.
A job well Hung.
Dey sooo crever!
.
Could be a mistranslation. Maybe they meant that they have landed a man on the son.
Well, it's not the heat, it's the humidity...
Hung will also be bringing back some sun spot samples for his uncle,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Obama will be ticked,,now he’s going to have change the tides or the planet alignment or something. No one gets anything over King Obama.
So that’s why the sun barfed the other day.
In 4 hours? North Korea is a lot further North than I thought.

The North Korean central news agency is calling the 18-hour mission the "greatest human achievement of our time" - and so they should, landing a man on the Sun, a trip that took 18 hours return, is quite the achievement, all things considered. I wonder if Dennis Rodman considered this a slam dunk for the country.

If the landing module is made out of two layers of Pyrex with two inches of ice in between the layers they’ll be fine. :)
My neighbor said he was the first sun visitor and I wish he was kidding.
