Previous - unsuccessful - launches have been criticised as breaches of a UN ban on North Korean ballistic missile tests. The announcement is likely to increase tensions with North Korea's neighbours, with South Korea expressing concern over Pyongyang's announcement. South Korean officials called the move a "grave provocation" and a "challenge to the international community". The atmosphere in South Korea is especially tense as the country prepares for a presidential election scheduled for 19 December, the BBC's Lucy Williamson reports from Seoul. North Korea's most recent rocket launch, in April, was a failure. The US, Japan and South Korea said the rocket flew only for a short time before breaking up and crashing into waters off the Korean peninsula. Earlier this week South Korea halted a satellite launch minutes before take-off after problems were found during the final checks. [B]'Peaceful purposes'[/B] North Korean scientists and technicians had now "analysed the mistakes" of the April launch, the Korean Committee for Space Technology said, via KCNA. The rocket will be of the same Unha-3 variety as was used in the April test. It will be launched "southward" from the Sohae base near the Chinese border, KCNA said, implying it would be directed over the East China Sea. The flight path had been chosen to avoid debris falling on neighbouring countries, the agency said. "Unha" is Korean for "galaxy", and is the name given by North Korea to the space launcher version of its Taepodong-2 missile, which has an estimated range of 2,200km. The missile has not yet been successfully tested. There had been recent speculation that North Korea would attempt another launch soon, with a UN Security Council committee on Thursday warning the country against such a move. Saturday's statement insisted the forthcoming launch would be for "peaceful purposes". The test will be the second to take place under the leadership of Kim Jong-un, who took over leadership of the country after the death of his father Kim Jong-il almost a year ago.[/quote]
What if Un gets very hungry?...
I hope the ocean is prepared for another missile to consume.

I'm guessing they stuff these rockets full of noodles and fire them into ocean so the great leader can eat biggest soup of his life.
I hope the shit doesn't crash in South korea.
North Korea. Where they can afford extensive rocket testing, but not food for the poor.
[QUOTE=Mysterious Mr.E;38664934]North Korea. Where they can afford extensive rocket testing, but not food for the poor.[/QUOTE] Their technology is on par with the south considering neither of them have ever successfully launched a rocket.
Everyone will be wanting drones next.
I reckon it will go well.

As long as it isn't a ICBM or a war machine and is used for peaceful purposes i am okay with it.

Didn't the last one fail?
[QUOTE=xianlee;38668910]Didn't the last one fail?[/QUOTE] No, no its not what you think. It was the great leaders decision to sink the rocket into the ocean.
Where does isolated totalitarian nation, which banned internet and other communications, need satellite? Unless it's for spying purposes :v:

How on earth can a missile test ever be for peaceful purposes? It's a fucking missile.

Here we go...
North Korea is the autistic manchild of the world :v:
