Establish limits of reclusive Korean leader's space programme (8)

I believe the answer is:

startrek

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'space programme' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'establish limits of reclusive korean leader's' is the wordplay.
'establish' becomes 'start' (I've seen this in another clue).
'limits of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'leader' indicates taking the first letters.
'reclusive' with its centre taken out is 're'.
The initial letter of 'korean' is 'k'.
'start'+'re'+'k'='STARTREK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for startrek that I've seen before include "US TV sci-fi series" , "Extraterrestrial journey" , "Long-running sci-fi series" , "Popular sci-fi TV series with Mr Spock" , "TV/film sci-fi series" .)
