NBC’s Richard Engel was camped out in N. Korea for their Dear Leader’s most excellent rocket launch. Funny, I didn’t see Engel reporting the epic fail, or could I have zoned out and missed it?

U.S. officials said that the missile is believed to have crashed into the sea. This is what passes for a "confirmation" of facts now? Mere belief?

I wonder how many Nork 'rocket scientists' have been lined up against a wall and blindfolded by now.........

The satellite is now successfully in orbit at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. I guess that makes it geosynchronous. It does in fact go all the way around once every 24 hours.
