![]() ![]() South Korean officials say their commercial-grade satellite launch has no military purpose. Jung Chang Wook, head of the Korea Defense Study Forum think tank in Seoul, said the recent North Korean push for a spy satellite launch suggests it cares greatly about the South Korean satellite launch program. Analysts say the North’s testing spree was likely meant to pressure its rivals to scale back their military training and relax economic sanctions on the North. in what it called efforts to respond to the expansion of military drills between the United States and South Korea. Since the start of 2022, North Korea has test-launched more than 100 missiles - some of them nuclear-capable weapons designed to strike South Korea and the U.S. forces, according to state media.Īnimosities on the Korean Peninsula remain high. During his visit to the country's aerospace agency, Kim also mentioned the strategic significance of a spy satellite while vowing to defend against “confrontational moves” by South Korean and U.S. Last week, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reviewed a finished spy satellite and approved a future action plan on its launch. South Korea's satellite launch plan has been closely watched by outsiders. He said South Korea will consider rescheduling the launch as soon as Thursday, if authorities fix the technical problem early.

Nobody has yet stopped me from writing cross-genre, and if "fake soulbonding in the space military" sounds like it could be your thing, then I appreciate those of you giving it a shot from whichever side of the genre line!ĬONTENT WARNINGS: mind-control, coercion, mental health struggles (self-destructive tendencies and thoughts, self-neglect including chaotic eating habits), imprisonment, mind/body sharing, some drug and alcohol use. I'd categorise this one as slightly more on the SF side of the SF/Romance border. If you're primarily an SF reader you'll probably think it has a lot of romance. □ There is a strong romantic arc and emotions are high, but if you're a romance reader please go in expecting a VERY low heat level. □ It's a space adventure with a military-SF feel (I wouldn't classify it as strict MilSF since the army is mainly the antagonist and the main character spends the whole book trying to get out of it.) It's in the same universe as Winter's Orbit but there's no overlap in characters or locations. □ The story takes place on the planet Orshan where, as the result of some dodgy experimentation, some people have the ability to read or control minds. Things that you should know about it (expand for CWs): This book includes: a main character who is having a bad day and intends to make it everyone else's problem, psychics behaving badly, pining, space battles, making out during a break-in, awful families, and the terror of being known and then loved in spite of it. I originally pitched this as "like fake dating but with fake soulbonding, also both characters are in the space military."
