N. Korean leader urges more rocket launches

SEOUL, South Korea: North Korea's leader has ordered more satellite launches, state media said Friday, two days after Pyongyang's long-range rocket launch triggered global outrage and UN condemnation.

Kim Jong-Un, who oversaw Wednesday's launch, said its success underscored the need for "to develop the country's science, technology and economy", according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

North Korea says it placed a satellite in orbit for peaceful research, but critics say the launch amounted to a banned ballistic missile test that marked a major advance for the communist state's nuclear weapons programme.

The UN Security Council held emergency talks after the North, already under international sanctions for nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009, ignored pleas from friends and foes and went ahead with the launch.

The council warned of possible measures over what the US called a "highly provocative" act as it and other countries including South Korea and Japan demanded a new round of sanctions against Pyongyang.

Kim had issued the final written order for the rocket launch on Wednesday morning and "keenly observed" the whole process, said KCNA.

By placing a satellite in orbit North Korea had "further consolidated the status of the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) as a space power and demonstrated that the country has reached the highest level in terms of cutting-edge science and technology", it reported Kim as saying.

The launch "showed at home and abroad the unshakable stand... to exercise the country's legitimate right to use space for peaceful purposes", Kim said, according to KCNA.

Analysts say the symbolism of the launch was a prime motivating factor for North Korea as youthful Kim, who is not yet 30, shores up his leadership a year on from the death of his father Kim Jong-Il on December 17 last year.

A previous launch of North Korea's Unha-3 rocket in April ended in embarrassing failure, with the carrier exploding shortly after take-off, and Kim was seen as keen to mark this month's anniversary with an emphatic success.

NK missile not capable of hitting US yet: White House


WASHINGTON (Yonhap) -- The White House said Thursday it does not believe North Korea has developed a missile capable of hitting the U.S. mainland despite its one-time success in orbiting a satellite.

To a question about whether the U.S. maintains the view that North Korean missiles are incapable of reaching the American homeland, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, "I think it's certainly still the view that is the case."

Carney's remarks were the first concrete public comments by a U.S. official this week on speculation that Pyongyang has mastered a technology for launching intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Carney's remarks were the first concrete public comments by a U.S. official this week on speculation that Pyongyang has mastered a technology for launching intercontinental ballistic missiles.

After three consecutive failures, North Korea put a satellite into orbit with a multi-stage rocket on Wednesday (local time).

Many recalled remarks in 2009 by then-U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates that North Korea was within five years of developing ICBMs.

Carney said, "I don't have a timeline for you, and I won't."

He added, however, that North Korea and Iran are among the reasons that the U.S. has sought to beef up its missile defense system.

He drew a line between the two "rogue" states in terms of the level of nuclear and missile threats, although both, he said, should change course and abide by international obligations.

"They're certainly at different stages in the developments of their prohibited programs, and they're different countries, and there are, in some ways, different issues at stake," he said.

i am against any counrty's nuclear development, i will protest even Canada were toget nuke.

People cheering for North Korean simply because they (NK) are against the US and its camp, not because they genuine glad or concern (For better or worse) that NK Process nuclear weapon.

They would generally agrue if US have nuke, why can't North Korean.

What they don't care is how North Korean Suffer just their government can get a face on the international stage.

Do bear in mind, even offical Chinese stance were against NK having nuke, but that does not do anything to our Chinese member here, as long as NK Shove it in the west face, they wil lcheer about it. It's simple as that.

Nuke are the enemy of the world, it does not matter who has it, be it the US, UK, Israel, India, Pakistan, China and North Korean. People cheering for nuclear proliferation, regardless of which country, should have their head checked.
Everyone here knew that, including the cheerleaders themselves who are well aware of their contradictions. Rivers of crocodile tears have flow and will continue to flow for Imperial Japan and North Korea.
 

lol, look at those rivets, looks like the plating from the Titanic. Im also quite certain no tubes should be dangling out like one is on this picture. No wonder it disintegrated in orbit....

Very rough manufacturing process,I thought South Korea's should be much better than this one.But the performance is .......

If you look closely, the wires along the side of the rocket motor have been exposed because the vertical part (tubing) covering it has been torn apart (during crash most probably). That is why that area does not have the white paint scheme, because the part covering it and having that paint is not there.

i also see some blackness around the hole, as in something was burning. The rest of the green strip vertical doesnt have this "shade".

first stage ...

Diameter : 2.4 m

This is never 2.4 m.....the guy's torso could be used for reference and unless he is 2.4 from head to waist.....
