&gt; Why does the article quote North Korea&#x27;s &quot;right&quot; to explore space in a peaceful manner?<p>Because if you run through the street, it&#x27;s normal. If you run through the street shouting that you&#x27;re exercising your right to run through the street in a peaceful manner, it&#x27;s being super suspicious. (like naming state-controlled newspaper &quot;The Truth&quot;) Also because everyone is aware they&#x27;re experimenting with serious weapons and act as if they are disconnected from consequences, so it&#x27;s worth paying attention.
