"Defying international concerns, North Korea fired a long-range rocket early Friday, but it appears to have fallen into the sea, splintering moments after takeoff, South Korean and U.S. officials said." (www.usatoday.com) More...
What the world knows: the rocket failed, they suck again. What North Korea is telling their citizens: the rocket was a success, it made it to Pluto and we now consider it a planet again.
FAILURE of their rockets is in deed GOOD NEWS to the World of Peace .... So much for using it as a "celebration" of the 100th birthday of a former dictator.
The North Koreans are learning what rocket science is all about. A lot of failures. What I don't understand is the mentality of the North Koreans to send money and resources they don't have.
This was a golden opportunity for the USA to test that new laser system designed to burn holes in rockets and destroy its structural integrity.... Hummm
