[Bernard Parent] Sewol disaster ― engineering education problem
The collapse of the Gyeongju auditorium in February followed by the capsizing of the Sewol ferry in April have resulted in hundreds of high school and university students losing their lives unnecessarily at a very early age. The cause of these sad events is being attributed mostly to the greediness of entrepreneurs who sacrifice public safety in favor of monetary gains as well as, in the case of the Sewol ferry, to the incorrect behavior of the crew members. However, I would argue that, ultimate

Why Korean rockets can’t go solid
Goheung, Naro Space Center ― The Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1 rocket had a successful launch last month and carried a satellite into orbit, to the joy of Koreans all over the nation. However, when seen from a technological point of view, there is much room for improvement, particularly in terms of the fuel used to power the rocket. Due to no wrong from the scientists or the engineers who worked on KSLV-1, Korea is restricted from fueling rockets ― even those to be used for peaceful or space deve

What’s next after Naro?
Korea plans to develop a three-stage indigenous space rocket, the KSLV-2, by 2020. Before that, it aims to develop a 75-ton thrust engine by 2018. Kim Seung-jo, president of the Korea Aerospace Research Institute, said earlier that the country should look to a private space firm called SpaceX for its future space model. The California-based firm’s two-stage rocket uses the Merlin engine, which provides a 66-ton thrust using liquid oxygen and kerosene. The first stage has nine Merlin engines clus
