the tension mounts

All of South Korea is holding its breath in anticipation of tonight's space launch, which includes a "double first" for Koreans: astronaut Lee Soyeon will not only be the first Korean in space: she'll be the first Korean woman in space. Best of luck to Soyeon, whose amazing adventure has been faithfully chronicled over at Mike Hurt's fine blog (see especially here and here; these links have videos with Soyeon, who is Mike's friend).
