There are only a few major milestones that define mankind, walking on the moon is among them, but the ever respectful nation of North Korea is about to surpass even that feat. As of just a few hours ago North Korea became the first country to successfully land on the sun. The trip reportedly took a mere 4 hours for the space shuttle to reach the sun, which is piloted by 17-year-old Hung Il Gong, nephew of Kim Jong-un.

“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”.

The total trip will take only 17 hours before the shuttle safely lands back on earth where Gong is expected to receive a hero’s welcome. The best part is he supposedly was able to stay alive by traveling under the cover of darkness because the only way to travel to the sun is to go at night to not get burned and he is going to bring back sun spot samples for his uncle; the dear leader.

All I can say to this is – facepalm.
