Seems to have way undershot on the Pacific Ocean portion (second stage) of flight. Looks like it came down aroud 38 degrees North Latitude, 150 degrees in Longitude. Probably 1/2 the distance the Chia Pet was hoping for. But it DOES represent a step forward from their launch of three years ago where it failed and came down into the Sea of Japan 2 minutes after launch. Not as good as they wanted but better than last time. PROGRESS. This still represents a bit threat to the USA and Japan and Korea.

IT CANNOT BE SAID YET WHETHER THIS WAS A SATELLITE OR NOT OR WHETHER IT FAILED OR NOT IN THAT RESPECT.
