2016/02/06 18:45
TOKYO, Feb. 6 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has moved up its plan to launch a long-range rocket to between Feb. 7 and 14, Japanese media reported Saturday, citing a Tokyo government announcement.
Earlier this week, Pyongyang informed the International Maritime Organization (IMO) of its plan to launch a satellite between Feb. 8 and 25.
Japan's Kyodo News reported that the North has informed the IMO of its change of plan.
Experts earlier expected that the North would likely launch the rocket around Feb. 16, the birthday of former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, who died due to heart failure in late 2011.
P!
The Nork Whacko in Chief is pulling for the Jets... This ought to be interesting...

Sorry, you have already mentioned it.
No, just a distraction from the collapse of our way of life. These stories from half a world away are just fluff to keep the focus off our own problems. I had a co-worker who couldn’t sell her home (and couldn’t retire without doing so) bemoaning what is happening with ISIS; she had much more pressing problems, and these stories successfully kept her distracted from them.
Videos from NK
Not only does this video contain some wonderful details on launch exercises and the life of launch brigadiers, but it also allows us to geolocate a PLA Rocket Force launch brigade and raises a possible question on launch procedures.

According to Khmer Radio the launch will take place Sunday morning local time. If this is true my guess is in 7 to 10 h from now.
