North Korea launch "satellite"

[Lysander]

North Korea has defied international warnings with an apparently successful launch of a long-range rocket.

The rocket, launched at 09:49 local time (00:49 GMT), appears to have followed its planned trajectory, with stages falling in expected areas.

North Korea says a satellite has been placed in orbit; the US confirmed an object had been put into space.

South Korea, the US and Japan have condemned the launch as a disguised test of long-range missile technology.

The United Nations - as well as China - say the launch is in breach of Security Council resolutions banning Pyongyang from ballistic missile tests, and that it should not have gone ahead.

So... weather satellite or disguised missile test?

The US have confirmed an object has been put into space...

So what's to doubt? Surely if they wanted to fuel a war they would deny this.

 

[PhillyDee]

Maybe, but they are telling the Koreans "We can see what you have / are doing".

It's North Korea, they've probably put a turnip shaped like glorious Kim Jong Un's head in space.

Could be his ashes!

Where do they get the money to launch things up into space?

US aid

Although I think they have stopped handing them wads of cash these days.

No need to worry, it's North Korea.

 

[Lunatic Dreyfus]

And with the new Glorious Leader in charge, it will only get more Best.

The rest of the world is clearly in awe of Kim Jong-un's mastery of the heavens.

The X-37B's last flight was basically following the chinese space station around for a year as well!

If by following around you mean passing by at 7km a second either side of the globe - then yes!

Well it took them enough tries.

Lol, I had to laugh when I seen the BBC report on this this morning, the video footage of the North Korean News reporter looked like it was shot in the 1980s so I cant image the satellite is very technologically advanced as they dont appear to have even mastered any sort of High res filming equipment.
