Celebrating Our Nation's First Space Mission with Young Heroes

A vintage-style photograph features two young children standing side by side, wearing large, bulky space suits with helmets. The child on the left is in an orange suit, while the child on the right is in a blue suit. Their helmets are clear, showing their faces, and both have a serious expression. The suits are detailed with various straps and patches. In the blurred background, a group of people, possibly military personnel, can be seen, suggesting a formal or significant event. The photo has a grainy texture, adding to its nostalgic feel.

Dear Hye-jin,

Today was one of the proudest days of my life! The city was alive with excitement, flags waving, music playing, and a sea of people gathered to celebrate our great nation’s first space mission. And right at the heart of it—my boys, my little cosmonauts, marching in their space suits!

Joon-ho and Min-su were selected to represent the astronauts in today’s parade, walking through the streets of Pyongyang with their tiny helmets held high. Can you imagine? Their faces beamed with excitement, and I could see the pride in their steps. The crowd cheered for them, and for a moment, they were truly heroes of the stars.

Of course, as soon as we got home, their first request was for food—they claimed even “future astronauts need snacks” after a long day of waving and smiling. I think they were more excited about the parade sweets than the space program itself, but who could blame them?

I wish you had been here to see it. The whole city felt electric, alive with hope for the future. Maybe one day, my boys will truly fly among the stars. And if they do, I’ll make sure they send a real postcard—from space!

With love and excitement,
Ji-young
