CNN) -- When China's lunar orbiter blasted off last month, there was not a cheer or smile or a "whoo-haaa" to be had in mission control.
Perhaps because for the government, it was just another small step in an ambitious space program which could ultimately see a Chinese Restaurant orbiting the Earth, a China Town on the moon, and a space suite cleaners on Mars.
In related news, South Korean space officials said Tuesday they plan to send an unmanned probe to the moon's orbit in 2020 and land a probe on the moon's surface in 2025 in hopes of opening several Carry Outs.
The country's Ministry of Science and Technology also announced it will develop a large-sized rocket capable of carrying 300 tons of fried chicken and mumbo sauce into space by 2017.
However they admit if this new vision is to work, African Americans will need to colonize the moon. They are already in negotiations with companies like Colt 45, Remy Martin and Boon's farm.
