Betrayal and Redemption: Dresnok
Introduction: During the tumultuous years of the Cold War, the world witnessed a remarkable event that defied all expectations - the defection of an American soldier, James Joseph Dresnok, to North Korea. Stationed on the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea, Dresnok made the life-altering decision to cross the line, leaving behind his homeland and embracing an enemy nation.

North Korea, in turn, denied having American defectors living in their country until the truth finally came to light in the 2000s.

The Earth receives a certain amount of energy from the sun every day. This energy is vital for sustaining life and driving various processes on our planet. The question arises as to how much of this energy is radiated back into space by the Earth.
