The object that North Korea sent into space early Thursday appears to be “tumbling out of control” as it orbits the earth, U.S. officials told NBC News.
The officials said that it is indeed some kind of space vehicle but they still haven’t been able to determine exactly what the satellite is supposed to do.
In a statement, the White House said the rocket launch was a highly provocative act that threatens regional security and violates U.N. resolutions.
The United Nations Security Council on Thursday condemned the launch, calling it a "clear violation" of U.N. resolutions. A spokesman for U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he "deplores" the launch.

Maybe it was made in the same factory that produces their shabby-quality tennis shoes.

North Korean space launch in trouble.
North Korea’s first manned space launch
appeared to be tumbling out of control today.

Not a trivial exercise in and of itself.
...and an orbital EMP weapon probably doesn't care if it's nose up or nose down when it pops.

The odds of that are near zero.I hope so. Even if it only hits one, it's going to create a debris field. Might want to send one of the shuttles up to capture it before it makes a mess. Oh, wait......

Nope he will say they planned it that way as he puts a bullet in the head of the guy who designed it.
