Nice comparison. Really accurate. A masterful display of logic and reason.

I wonder how many technological innovations will come about by N. Korea's 'space program' and the private companies supporting it. Wait... do private companies even exist in N. Korea? Anyway, of those non-existent innovations, how many will be used to help its citizens or those of other nations? Granted, with the BS the N. Korea citizenry are being fed, they may be willing to sustain such low quality of life. For all we know they think the world is at their doorstep and they have to give up everything for defense. It was not that way with NASA. Yes, there was a perceived threat and the nation rallied behind the cause for the most part, but the U.S. wasn't in negotiations to receive food assistance from anyone because its citizens were starving either.

Out of curiosity, do you even know the reason for the embargoes and sanctions you referenced? Didn't think so.

It looks like they're going to have to pinch pennies even more for the next launch, meal, clothing, or whatever because their illustrious leader is, yet again, pissing in the wind in the general direction of almost everyone that could aid them.
