DPRK just announced a satellite launch failure. They know they’re caught, amazing that they aren’t spinning it.
Can’t do it any other way. They invited so many journalists. Whoever proposed this media stunt-turned-fiasco is now in deep trouble.
I’m sure the Partisan Media Shills will spin it, if they report it at all, gotta protect their golden child.

Contrary to initial analysis,
(1) The rocket had explosion 80 seconds into flight at the altitude of 50km. It broke in two.
(2) The broken rocket still appeared to fly in one piece, until 2 min 15 sec into flight at which time two pieces started to separate at the altitude of 70.5 km. Initially experts believed that this was the time when the explosion occurred.
(3) In light of this new revelation, experts now believe that it is not the intentional abort or failure in the separation of 1st and 2nd stage boosters, which led to the breakup of the rocket, but the faulty design of 1st stage booster or a fuel leak.
