North Korea Launches Rocket, ABC Reports Launch Has Failed
Red headline time. From Yonhap:
- North Korea launches rocket - S.Korea's YTN Television
- U.S official confirms North Korea has launched rocket
- Rocket launch took place at 7:39 local time - South Korea Defense Ministry,
Japan likely in full mobilization mode right about now. Or not: this just in:
- ABC's Martha Raddatz reports the North Korean rocket launch has FAILED.
- Rocket was inflight for about a minute before it failed
Somebody is about to have their daily 5 gram portion of food cut in half as the local rocket no fly long time.
And scene:
- Japanese Defense Minister says NKorean rocket appears to have fallen into ocean
- Japan Def. Min. Tanaka: DPRK rocket appears to have exploded one minute after launch.
- Yonhap: ROK residents near DMZ were alerted to seek shelter from possible DPRK rocket debris.
- South Korean army says rocket debris crashed between 190km and 210 km off Kunsan, a city on West South Korea
Now how long before North Korea blames South Korea for shooting down the rocket? In the meantime South Korea is not waiting. From Yonhap.
South Korea on Friday called for the United Nations Security Council to respond to North Korea's defiant long-range rocket launch, even though the launch appears to have failed
In other news, North Korea is redefining "minuteman" since 7:39 local time
This is was the projected path.
For those with Google Earth apps, here is the KMZ file showing the path in its full glory.

Haha, nice. "Red headline time." Smooth.
Well, hopefully the world doesn't end or anything. :-P

Oh Shit. How you say "deep kimchi" in Siberian?
I contend it was rather successful. Guess it depends on your propoganda slant.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
spx must be up locked limit as koreans cant nuke us yet
I told you not to order that nozzle from the lowest cost chinese supplier.
No ration for you!!!
It is more like a noose for you!!!
"Rohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Koraaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!"
No matter how hard you try, the blues and that rag will not nearly begin to quell it, Kimmy.
The screams will always be louder and the blood tooooooo great.
Fucker, unintended as you may be...
Looks like it almost hit philippines.
North Korea's Performance Problem
Bullish!
Is that a deer in the snow or a nuclear white flash?
CNN said, it failed. Forget it. Let's check RT.com
Nonsense...one minute was "better than expected." Markets to soar like a non North Korean rocket.
I think the ATF sold them the materials they needed so it was probably a success. Operation boom and doom I believe...
HuffPo said "Weapon of Mass Dysfunction" - priceless!
All the more hilarious considering that's HuffPo's disinfo nickname....

So what's next full scale attack against them?
We begin bombing in 5 minutes:

I guess that since 5 minutes has passed we are saved from a nuclear war once again
First video in of launch. Unbelievable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju1UwmgkKgI

Capitalists Capialize on the failure...
no, another food aid from u.s.s.a
We'll wait until all the kinks are rectified and appropriate infrastructure has been constructed and is fully operational... Its the only way to turn an attack with "no boots on the ground" into a long sustainable drawn-out military action, preferably lasting years.
We must first warn them and let them know how serious we are!

Anyone can launch a rocket. It's what you do with the rocket.

Look out Wichita.

+1 for Dr. Who
That sucker's heading straight for Antarctica!
The idiots at Norad won't see it coming when it circles the globe and attacks from Mexico.
The size of the rocket is said to be 3 or 4 inches smaller than standard Western Rockets and 7 or 8 smaller than those launched in Africa.
It's a North Korean Phallus-class rocket.
Who the fuck junked dfl8r?
That's funny you dickwad!
She wasn't being serious.
Jesus....
Probably pissed because they had a bunch of call options on the NK rocket industry.
remember that MASH episode where the commie guy pilots the bi-plane running on cooking oil and has the little hand-held bombs with the fins?
they'd hear his bi-plane come sputtering over the ridge and run outside to wave and see if he hit anything when he dropped the bomb over the side and sped away...
You're talking about 5 o'clock Charlie.
who?? just some cunts
The silos and boosters are smaller in Korea too.
They are not allowed to have fun more than a minute too.
True.
But Asian rocket fly you long time...
Yep, and very well packaged.
Dung mung Chin's son fuck up..... he next to disappear tommorow
Just tell them it is not about the size of thier rocket... it's how they use it!
(edit... oops, that didn't work out either. Oh well.)
DPRK's LON_DONG VI only lasted 1 min but FED's QE is going and going and going.
Who cares.
Taiwan ??
Ugh. I'm annoyed at the thought of all the talking heads on TV (and by extension my coworkers - since original thought is verboten) saying how bad this is............
Which means that the economy will rebound shraply as hiring skyrockets (ha ha haha haha ah; sky-rocket, get it, rocket? hhahh hah heeeh he ) in response to the Empire's partiotic masses building, cultivating, creating more to feed the Leviathan for the altruistic good of self defence and the golbal spread of One World Democracy or some such horseshit.
Flyover of thousands of fully armed drones spying constantly upon the populace to mitigate the negative surreptitious disentigration of society caused by direct effects of millions of foreign spies on our college campuses, tears streaming, chins quivering, the sound of a million voices crying out in unison; "I love Big Brother!"
I can't remember, was it eastasia, or eurasia that we were fighting?

C.P. Cavafay “Waiting for the Barbarians”
What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?
The barbarians are due here today.
Why isn’t anything happening in the senate?
Why do the senators sit there without legislating?
Because the barbarians are coming today.
What laws can the senators make now?
Once the barbarians are here, they’ll do the legislating.
Why did our emperor get up so early,
and why is he sitting at the city’s main gate
on his throne, in state, wearing the crown?
Because the barbarians are coming today
and the emperor is waiting to receive their leader.
He has even prepared a scroll to give him,
replete with titles, with imposing names.
Why have our two consuls and praetors come out today
wearing their embroidered, their scarlet togas?
Why have they put on bracelets with so many amethysts,
and rings sparkling with magnificent emeralds?
Why are they carrying elegant canes
beautifully worked in silver and gold?
Because the barbarians are coming today
and things like that dazzle the barbarians.
Why don’t our distinguished orators come forward as usual
to make their speeches, say what they have to say?
Because the barbarians are coming today
and they’re bored by rhetoric and public speaking.
Why this sudden restlessness, this confusion?
(How serious people’s faces have become.)
Why are the streets and squares emptying so rapidly,
everyone going home so lost in thought?
Because night has fallen and the barbarians have not come. And some who have just returned from the border say
there are no barbarians any longer.
And now, what’s going to happen to us without barbarians?
They were, those people, a kind of solution.
Dont call us, We'll call you.
Good for a +10 handle on the ES by the time I take my morning shit tomorrow.
In the time honoured way I was just going to ask.."yeah, but where's the trade bitchez?" thanks for that..
Will Japan shoot it down?
Will the US?
Exciting moment!
I loves me some Korean BBQ!
I was unaware Testor sold kits in N. Korea. Those Double-D rockets can go quite far...
The US grand standing about NK's one long range missile is making a Mount Everest out of an ant hill.
Everyone knows, even NK, that if NK got a missile that contained any kind of warhead into the US, North Korea would be wiped off the map.
Not that theres much to wipe off, but still.
But those dingleberries itch like hell!
When does the parachute come out so they can reclaim the cone portion and repack for next weeks launch?
They have shit on sale at Wal-Mart this week. That's their ticket to big-big savings.
I have it on good authority that they have a sovereign account at Toys R Us but they got a bad shipment of fuel pellets.
I went to CNN.com for some live updates, but they tell me things like George Zimmerman, Hillary Rosen and Mel Gibson are more important. What were we talking about again?
CNN?! That explains it.
Hey, Gnewet Geningrich said today that CNN was more fairer than Fox, so, let's not get too judgemental about it.
Lauren Lister on RT is the fairest of them all.
They said the rocket's heading toward you, tuxedo boy;) Time to duck and cover.
We were talking about North Korean midget tranny porn, weren't we?
My wife is complaining her Alex Trebek and Pat Sajak are being interrupted
Kim Jong Jr. finally trades in the high heels for some boots.
Maybe not. He can't keep it up.
If the US were serious about controlling defense spending, it would have used this as an live-fire ABM practice-target rather than wasting one of its own.
Hoo flung poo?
Nice.
Lemme see here, and coming from a bloke with no formal Rocket Science background altho people used to munble something about Knukles thinking he was a fucking Rocket Scientist which I shall take as giving me ample authority, a question for youse guyses in dah kno....
Is not the trajectory of that beast (Here tell it's nicknamed "#666, Mr. Bond") a little too far to the south to be of optimal utilization of the earth's rotational momentum?
More a shot across Japan's and thus the West's bow mayhaps for the geopolitical terroristic effect?
Could George Lucas done them any better?
After all, Stanley Kubrick has passed away. (Referring to the so called supposedly hidden Apollo 11 filmed moon landing conspiracy meme embedded in "The Shining".)
That's why we have no footage of the OBL bagging and the would be destruction of this missile.
No Kubrick.
Oh well, back to my tinfoil crafts, such as they are.
+ priceless
++Knice...
Optimal utilization of the Earth's rotation isn't a make or break issue. One can trade payload margin for orbital inclination (up to a point). Firing due East from an equitorial launch site gives you the best payload for a given launcher, but then a 0 degree inclnation orbit is mostly only used for geosynchronous birds. A shot due South from NK would result in something close to a 90 degree inclination orbit, which is pretty consistent with what an Earth observation satellite would do. The loss of payload margin on that trajectory isn't a big deal, since the payload was so small anyway.
That trajectory has the added benefit of not overflying Japan or SK. Weirdly, what they did is responsible space launching (i.e. don't rain debris or spent stages on your neighbors). An important consideration when most of your payloads wind up as flaming wreckage in the Sea of Japan....
I thought so too, as it's 90 degrees off the optimal path for putting things up into orbit,
but on second thought it's about the momentum and trajectory imparted to the satellite.
Given the desired flight path http://cryptome.org/2012-info/dprk-missile/dprk-missile.htm
it's a good trajectory for a longitudinal orbit that covers US norad, Oz, Singapore, Taiwan.
That is if we are to take the satellite launch mission statement at face value of course.
It could be they were ambitious and skipped the base step consisting of just getting up
into orbit, and aimed high to the second step of actually putting up a useful spy sat.
after all, they don't shy away from irrational exuberance.
it could be propaganda, posturing, or it could be a coded threat where they could have
self-destrcuted the missile after establishing that the trajectory and thrust vector was good.
No nuclear war. Sell gold, sell silver. Buy Apple. It only goes up.
Oh shit, just did the opposite. Wish me luck!
But I thought Obama told them not too....great dipshitlomacy
Future headine:
Oops.
Watch them reverse course and give them the food anyway because of the "failure".
Failed? Just because ABC said so with no picture, sound and video. So trustworthy
ABC: All Bureau Censorship
It did not fail..it showed the world that they can do what they want and will do what they want...Wether the UN or Obama says anything or not...lol....maybe another nasty letter...lol
Maybe Obama knew they can't really shoot it down successfully so their prostitute media would have to rush in to misinform the public by a fake and unconfirmed report to save face. A real news report should always provide real evidence before fooling the public like retarded children
It's legal now, after Joe Biden called Al Franken one of America's leading constitutional law scholars today.
Like having already passed the National Make Fun of Retarded People Week Act.
Depends what their objective was. If they just needed to have the rocket enter the upper atmosphere to detonate a EMP then it would of been a success. Obviously, this was not the case but the goal is not to wipe out with nukes but to wipe out our electronics, which by default, would cripple our country.
Their leaders are trying to escape earth since we all know that 2012 will be our last year....(jk)
“Figures don’t lie, but liars figure.” Consider that China Vanke, the nation’s top property developer, suffered a 40 percent drop in January sales. Consider that sales of excavators and bulldozers dropped by 53 percent and 67 percent respectively in January, according to China Construction Machinery Business Online. And consider that inventory levels recently reached historic highs at the same time sales activity has dropped off a cliff.

Ihe next Johny Walker motto (Keep Walking North Korea - Johny Walker)
Got word that the rocket broke apart after takeoff.
And the fate of the engineers and launch / control team is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHdxow_IbcM&feature=endscreen&NR=1
The US used to do things like but quit because the actions instilled a sense of national identity within its citizens--citizens that are now being taken over by Obama and the NWO banksters.
Had even odds on the launch failing.
Easy money. Almost like #btfd.
You can't even make this shit up.
LMFAO...it's a dud.
My fucking asshole doesn't have any curly thick pubes on it either.
Hmmm, the North Korean Elvis fan died with the new Leaders Dad, might try slapping the new Northern Boy with Ike. Lol.

Place on ground. Light fuze. Get away.
Yea, basically a glorified bottle rocket with a lady finger on top.
Total sham show having the NBC reporter tour around, providing "never before seen footage" with total access of our supposed enmy.
I think Elan Lusk must be behind this.
With all this hype for days and they failed!?
What an international embarassment that country is!
I told ya'll the rocket wouldn't get of the ground!
We really ought to launch a few dozen rockets in protest of this rocket launch.
And we know this wasn't shot down...how? Because the DoD says so?
Fucking please. I don't doubt that the pancake face idiots didn't paint a flying gas can and it exploded. But, I also wouldn't doubt that we shot this mother fucker out of the air to save the markets.
But, hey...that's just me.
Does it matter? If it was shot down, that still proves that they're no threat to anyone.
Does the truth matter? Not since a long long long time.
Look at that ES just grind higher in a linear fashion. Ain't it wonderful?
Well, judging from initial observations on Bloomberg coverage this morning, the story is confusing.
1. The banners state that the launch appears to have failed, while speaker Susan Li says that it has failed.
2. She also said, that the rocket broke up into four pieces after about 1 minute of flight. At one point she misspoke and said blew up and then corrected herself to broke up.
3. The correspondent (blond lady) who delivered more detailed updates explained in an earlier segment that the projected path would result in two debris fields. One near South Korea and another near the Philippines.
4. In a later segment she stated that the debris, that had fallen in two fields one near South Korea and one near the Philippines, would provide insight for the powers, who had been on real time drills in the area, into the current level of capability of North Korea in launching rockets.
Unless I got the point 4 statement mixed up, it would suggest to me that one or more of the 4 pieces, that the rocket broke up into, at some point have reached the Philippines at least 1500 km south after being propelled for only 1 minute from NK. That sounds wierd to me. And how they know that it was 4 pieces seems odd too.
Funny how a private US company (SpaceX) does better than a country.
They will have to cover this for their own people and tell them imperialist power X shot it down.
Tomorrow there will be plenty of openings in the NK rocket industry.
It was fueled with high octane kimchee...back to the "raboratory", boyzz....
Need more Mentos in the soda pop for more momento....
North Koreas latest attempt to destroy Davy Jones locker. Keep trying, you'll get it eventually!
This news is bullish...already priced in for tomorrows daily melt up....amd awaaaaay we go.
Exactly the point.
They'll ass fuck the ES higher all night on this most glorious result and market 'confident building' event.
#DPRK to issue statement shortly.
Could be big!
IMO, it will be either ``you shot it down and it's war!`` or ``it was a success`` or ``we will try again``...
Way to go out on a limb.
I don't know what happened to Jong Ills Estes rocket, but I guess this means we can safely say 'fuck off' when he demands free food from us saps in the west.
New N. Korean Stealth technology.... it only APPEARS to blow up after 1 minute, then 40 minutes later. BOOM!!
"Japan likely in full mobilization mode right about now."
Finally! I've been waiting for this! They're going to stand up...get organized, grab the bull by horns, and get to work to stabilize Fukushima, save their people, the Pacific ocean and the norhern hemisphere!
Oh wait...this is about a bottle rocket from North Korea?
No deribbery?
It hit a migrating goose. Completely unexpected from such a high tech rocket.
