North Korean satellite 'tumbling out of control,' US officials sayNBC News (http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/12/15866530-north-korean-satellite-tumbling-out-of-control-us-officials-say?lite)
The object that North Korea sent into space on Wednesday 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 Wednesday 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.
The satellite means nothing. It was the intercontinental launch vehicle that was being tested.
this is a nuke test without the nuke.
North Korean satellite fail = how many dead rocket scientist?
With the frequency that their rocket tests fail (miserably, predictably) how many "North Korean rocket scientists" could there possibly be left in that country?Time for some additional mortar target practice.
I'd wager that the qualifications for the job opening, "rocket scientist" in North Korea are approximately equivalent to, "elementary school janitor" just about anywhere else in the world.

There top rocket scientist by now probably only knows how to "strike a match".

I guess the scientists in North Korea will be sent off to the gulags and never be seen again.target practice (http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/10/25/north-korean-official-executed-with-a-mortar_n_2015515.html)
