SEOUL—North Korea launched a multistage rocket Wednesday that appeared to travel the entire distance of a projected course and put an object into orbit, making it the most successful of the country's five attempts at testing long-range missile technology.

The rocket took off shortly before 10 a.m. local time, flew south over the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and the Philippines, according to Japanese military authorities who tracked it closely because of the potential threat it posed to its Okinawa prefecture.



Looks like they figured out why the last one failed.

Some world opinions.

Well, nations are a lot like people... they have personalities.

You've got your beer drinking, hard party types like Ireland, Your romantics like France, your laid back types like Sweden, your straight laced types like Britain, your authoritarians like Germany, your affable doofus like Canada, your folksy outdoor types like Australia, your religious nut balls like Iran... and then there's North Korea... the paranoid schizophrenic of the group.

Probably not a good idea for a paranoid schizophrenic to have nuclear weapons.

And before anybody asks, the United States would be the multiple personality of the group. Probably not a good idea for a multiple personality to have nuclear weapons either but too late... we've already got them.
