North Korea missile launch may come in hours

sky news is showing a breaking news thing down the bottom of the screen atm.. lmao, pretty sure ats is the best source for news!!

From the reports I'm getting it seems that the launch has been a success so far.

Second stage of the North Korea rocket now splashed in the Pacific Ocean.

Well nothing landed ON Japan

Wires:

U.S. State Department confirms the rocket launch in North Korea.

CNN now confirming missile launch.

Well phooey I was hoping for them to shoot it down!
Guess I just felt like an international incident.

Wires:

South Korea to make an announcement in 11 minutes, several news agencies are reporting.

Launch seems to have gone off without a hitch so far. Which I think may be good. With all the tensions in the air over this it seems like things may be just fine. Of course it is a little to early to tell.

Wires:

AFP: Japan did not try to intercept North Korea rocket, government says

Yonhap: South Korea says still early to call N. Korea's launch a success, waiting for additional information from United States.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am sure there are a lot of countries tracking that sucker right now

Thats funny that we still don't know what it is. haha

reuters reports wreckage has fallen in the pacific and that japanese vessels will try to obtain that and the remains of the first boost stage part..

if the wreckage means rest of the missile then their payload should now be somewhere on the bottom of the pacific .ready tobe recovered

WOw lots of replies came quick.

From the Wires:

SKorean Yonhap News Agency says North Korean rocket is a satellite

Reuters: Japan government says the rocket launch is "regrettable"

[edit on 4/4/09 by redhatty]

Fox News is quoting unconfirmed reports originating in South Korea that are confirming that what NK launched tonight was not an ICBM but a satellite.

If so, the NK government is laughing at the rest of the world. They did what they said they would do and South Korea, Japan and the US are going to come off as having dramatically over reacted here.

New Wire:

Yonhap: Seoul says N. Korean rocket launch "grave threat" to world peace

Reuters: North Korean rocket passes over Japan

That's a real shockr, considering that is what NK has been saying for a while now. I have to agree with others, that US, Japan and SK are going to come out of this as looking like they overeacted, which they did in my eyes.

But give it a few days and some crap ass report will come out stating that perhaps there was more to this sat. then we know. Just to make people look good

Edit for spelling, as my fingers do not work tonight.

Good for them! Glad their little rocket worked and none of the other kids in the pool smacked it down just because they don't like em.
I am sure lots of people worked really hard to make this happen and it wouldn't be fair to smash their individual dreams because of their nation's policy.
Not saying at all that I agree with their policies, but I still think this has been blown waaaay outta proportion...as usual.

"oooh, be afraid everyone...if you're not afraid, you should be because we'll protect you and don't you forget it...they're after you!"
