North Korea to launch satellite
 

"Liftoff will take place between April 12th and 16th."

Must be a slow-moving thing, huh? I mean four days to reach orbit??

I wouldn't worry too much about it. :D

perhaps a link would be a nice addition to your claims? :)

Sure.

Well the eyes of the world will be upon them...here's hoping it doesn't suffer a spectacular launch disaster :DL

Will they find more fish up there? :hmm2:

Possibly :hmmm:

Why am I thinking this things going to be more ballistic than up and "Crash" somewhere very close to South Korea ? ,or have I got a nasty nasty suspicious mind and dear/beloved whatever leader is just wanting to search the world for Pie with his new satellite?

Little err I mean Fat Kim heard that the moon was made of cheese so why not send a rocket to find out what kind?Next they will send a moon cheese rover to collect some and bring it back.

The problem is, this is in direct violation of the nuclear arms / food deal they just worked out.

That has never made sense to me with these food deals with the DPROK they always end up violating what ever they agreed to.Yet we keep making these agreements with them.:hmmm:

I understand that the food supposedly helps feed people.I am pretty sure only the ones favored by the government get any of the food and/or they use it as a way to have control.So by giving these jokers (the government food) are we not just keeping them in power surely they do not tell the public there in order to keep grip on power they probably portray it as "The Great Leader made the Imperialist dogs give us more food with his mighty great leader powers though the might of our great military".It seems to me that giving them the food just keeps them in power more and they still behave in a belligerent manner in defiance of agreements.

Whose to say they do not just make a demand "Give us x tons of food or we invade South Korea" (stipulation that 20 tons of Little Debbie cakes be included)

Hey now, Kim Jong Un needs something to maintain his girlish (or would that be boyish?) figure... :O:

nuclear arms covers space rockets? :hmmm:

If they launch a nuclear powered rocket I'm defecting. :O:
