North Korea on its launch success or ours, acting like they launched a warhead at Califorinia?



Four hours after the launch, North Korea declared it a success. An experimental communications satellite reached outer space in just over nine minutes and is orbiting Earth, the state-run Korean Central News Agency said from Pyongyang.

"The satellite is transmitting the melodies of the immortal revolutionary paeans 'Song of Gen. Kim Il Sung' and 'Song of Gen. Kim Jong Il' as well as measurement data back to Earth," it said, referring to the country's late founder and his son, its current leader.

It's probably a primitive thing. lol

So? They violated a UN rule? I don't recognize the UN as an authoritarian organization so their "rules" have no standing as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe if we stopped picking on North Korea and let them do what they want, they wouldn't be firing rockets to try and intimidate others.

A "primitive" Earth orbiting satellite. Now *that* is an oxymoron!

I suppose even the cavemen were launching primitive satelittes. :P


Anyways, congrats to the Korean people. Their tax money at work.
