Getting word that North Korea launched the Unha-3 missile about 10 minutes ago. Early word is that it failed and was destroyed. No confirmation of the test results yet.

North Korea. What can i say. they are a problem, A relic from the 1950s, and antique, and a nation with an enormous attitude. They have nucleart weapons and soon they will have a delivery vehicle. And they have a powerful friend. What do you do with nut jobs like that
Fr President Clemenceau’s speech to the AIF 7th July 1918: “ we expected a great deal of (Australians)… We knew that you would fight a real fight, but we did not know that from the beginning you would astonish the whole continent. I shall go back and say to my countrymen “I have seen the Australians, I have looked in their faces …I know that they will fight alongside of us again until the cause for which we are all fighting is safe for us and for our children”.

They are reporting here that it was a failed launch and broke apart shortly after lift off.
Just makes me want to laugh...
Of course I am sure the official NK press release will state that it was a controlled detonation to test a self destruct system, and this glorious weapon made by the hard working people of North Korea was a total success. I am sure that someone in NK was executed after this.

They have tested plutonium weapons and the word is that the test they are preparing for right now is a uranium based weapon. Here's to hoping for another glorious...failure.
I would venture to guess that there are a number of submarines in the area looking for any of the wreckage. That might be a nice intelligence find.

On the radio there was a nice little bit. The whole of Korea knew that it was going to be launched and there was much anticipation and it has to be said pride in what was being launched. When the official news went quiet there was some nervousness, the BBC reporter said that his minders were asking him if it had been launched yet and he was the one who told them that it had failed.
I also wonder what the people of 'Best Korea' were told happened to their (er) magnificent rocket.
A guy on the BBC News channel said it looked like a crude POS.
