BREAKING! NASA Says N. Korean Rocket Launched Object Into Orbit

You know what they say about linkies and stinkies.

Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics says the three-stage Unha-3 rocket launched early Wednesday morning delivered the satellite into orbit and constituted "a perfect success for North Korea."

He says that based on his own calculations an object identified by U.S. space command as "39026, 2012-072A" was from the North Korean satellite.

Sorry its the

North American Aerospace Defense Command

Yeah I know. I'm on my phone so it's taking longer than I would like

Thanks!!

WW3 doom on?

Confirmed on multiple MSM sources!

PIN THIS!

MIGHT BE A KIM CHEE BOMB!!!! WATCH OUT!!!!!!1

It's a long dong

5*

If someone pins this. Please correct the title it was not NASA making the claim it is North American Aerospace Defense Command.

Now what is it?

5 stars and pin op!

Japan probably should have blown it out of the sky. I'm guessing they didn't want to take the chance of missing it and looking bad

WTF???

Is this to imply they have an ICBM capability? And they can reach countries if they so desire? A pretext for an attack or FF to be blamed on them?

Probably a canister full of scrap and nails to litter the orbital zones with debris. What a mess that would be!

Yes. That is exactly the concern.

I think their previous failed launch that they reported internally as being successful was suppose to be a satellite dedicated to Kim Jong Il

HHHmmmm, this could be an interesting development indeed.

NK is now a big boy with air mail delivery.

And this earlier today. Very strange indeed.

Thread: What Did The Air Force Just Launch Into Space? (Page 2)

I just can't see that being possible. I guess we'll find out. Didn't the USAF launch their unmanned drone/shuttle thingy today?

It probably is a copy of Sputnik and just goes "beep, beep, beep.......".

You read my mind!

Lulz!!!

Could the initial launch have been failed deliberately to proxy another launch package into orbit.......emp.....? That could take out x37 and oy her satellites.......things that make you go hmmmmm.

The US and N.Korea lauch spacecrafts on the same day whats going on??

how dare they launch satellites into space!

that's our yard!

"Britain will "urgently consult" with other members of the Security Council about the response to the launch, Hague said"
