South Korean officials says they are replacing the male astronaut they intended to send on a space voyage with a woman. The shift in plans, coming just weeks before the scheduled launch, is due to an apparent violation of security protocols by the male astronaut.
The surprise announcement was made Monday by Lee Sang-mok, a Director of Research at South Korea's Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology.
Lee says the glory of becoming South Korea's first astronaut will now go to a woman.
