By 2017, North Korea plans to be exploring planets other than Earth, anticipating big payoffs from the lucrative space exploration industry. We can only presume that the plans call for most of North Korea's government to be lofted into space to pursue these grandiose achievements. Best guess at this time: nothing's going to happen; they'll blame the USA, Earth will keep spinning around the Sun at 7,000 miles an hour. Multnomah County will hire more interpreters, fluent in Klingon and other possible languages, just in case the North Koreans happen to bring back extraterrestrials who may want to live in the County. Hey, it's always good to be prepared.
