Might as well put more stock in what North Korea is saying than our own government.
And if it had been a success? What country would have been hit and how much time would any country in its sites have to respond or protect itself? It should have been brought down the instant it left NKorea air space. But......it takes a President with guts to do that. I guess the tens of thousands of dollars spent to send out Navy ships to sea, was worth it?
Yup, another dismal failure for his regime and Iran.
luckily none of the rocket parts hit land ..
Kwangmyongsong-2 kinda reminds me of our Vanguard. Wait until they send up Kwangmylongdong-3.
It was halfway to Hawaii I hear. I’m sure we had a way or two ready to reach out and touch the pea in the sky.
LIl Kimmie’s just pee’d off he can’t go to Waikiki and hang with the babes and the Japanese can.
I know that this is deep water ... for everyone else in the world.
“It should have been brought down the instant it left NKorea air space. But......it takes a President with guts to do that.”
EXACTLY!
Meanwhile, half their population is starving to death. Pure evil.
And if they did, our fawning media would never tell us. Reference the Russian "satellite" that entered US airspace off of the east coast.
“Our” government has to say something so that they do not appear as weak and spineless as they (in reality) happen to be.
President Obama's Failure to Deal with North Korea is the ONLY Failure of Rocket Launch."
If at first you don’t succeed... You take your rockets and go home?
I don’t think so... They did pretty darn good for a first shot. Next year they’ll show us they can reach D.C.
Maybe a failure.. how far did it travel? The distance from Iran to Israel? It may not have reached orbit, was it really their intention to do so or just show that it can work to deliver a payload a certain distance?
This launch was nothing more than a sales presentation for terrorist states that are in the market to reach out beyond their borders. In that case it was a success.
Here’s a newsguy mapping out it’s course.

In other words, it was a very successful ballistic missile test.
But as has been proposed before, was there a satellite, or was the launching of a satellite a ruse, and the true objective was to test their missile?
If the latter, then it’s more than likely the launch was successful for their purpose.
Perhaps we should watch the reaction in Iran for a clue.
