just in.

north korea launches missles over Japan.

i guess we'll soon find out more.

if this rocked goes into space, this is a big step for such a backwards country.

it would seem now that anything is possible.

lets see if it makes it to orbit though.

i don't know what else to say, this thing won't let me post.

Panic-sex now? Or calm? I am torn either way. I was hoping the propaganda from the West would be more emotional....

Japan did not try to shoot it down, as it had indicated that it would if its territory was threatened, it said in a statement.

Cowards. All they make is good cars and trucks.

The payload of the rocket remains unclear. North Korea has said the rocket was to carry a satellite into space, but the United States, South Korea and other nations fear it could be a missile with a warhead attached.
