Get ready, it's coming soon...
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,510861,00.html QUOTE Japan's defense minister ordered the military to prepare to shoot down any debris that could fall on Japanese territory if a North Korean rocket launch fails, mobilizing interceptor missiles and sending two warships to the Sea of Japan.
... North Korea has mounted a rocket on a launch pad on its northeast coast, American intelligence officials say, putting Pyongyang well on track for a launch the U.S. and South Korea warned Thursday would be a major provocation with serious consequences. ... North Korea has warned it will retaliate against any country attempting to intercept the satellite. |

It still depends on the Koreans, the Navy and Raytheon big shots wagging their dicks at each other. These asshats delay everything and then try to blame it on the engineers for being late. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

So apparently they launched and nobody did anything. Looks like conflicting stories on what happened (whether or not there was a satellite)

s. korean news says it was a satellite...but it failed to orbit.
n. korea and russia said it's in orbit...go figure. in other news, nobody in south korea gave a shit. everyone went to the cherry blossom festival. nothing new here. -------------------- |
