South Korea's 16-Bit Satellite Footage

Satellite footage or Starfox ripoff?

Plenty of folks have given South Korea a hard time for taking three tries over four years to finally get a rocket to bring a satellite into orbit and for losing the space race with its demented northern neighbor (even if NK's satellite was pretty much DOA).

This isn't likely to slow the heckling. The nation released footage of the satellite's launch as taken from the rocket, and it kinda looks like a cut scene from Starfox. I, personally, think it's kind of awesome. So retro.
