South Korea confirms North Korea's satellite is 'orbiting normally' | |
| Dr. Astro Not to be confused with Phil Plait User ID: 4211721 12/13/2012 05:23 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think there are about 3-4 threads pinned at the moment about the NK satellite plummeting back to earth or spiraling out of control. Why, I don't know, but the facts are that the satellite reached orbit and is functioning as planned. Quoting: The Tauremini Well if it is tumbling, that would NOT mean that it was plummeting back to earth OR spiraling out of control necessarily. That would simply mean that its attitude is not stable (that's independent of its orbit). I have seen some amateur evidence to support that claim, but I don't know for sure if he was really tracking the satellite or a part of the rocket that launched it. As soon as the weather clears up around here I will get to the bottom of this myself. Last Edited by Dr. Astro on 12/13/2012 05:23 AM ![]() |

The MSN doesn't normally put out articles for at least 24 hours until they are told what they can and cannot say. I propose the U.S. gov WANTS people told it is out of control. I agree with another poster, I expect that they will cause a false flag using this thing. |
