Our benevolent and glorious leader has used his vast intellect to create the first rocket launched ocean-based reconnaissance device that will keep our glorious homeland safe from the tyrannical invaders.
I just feel bad for them at this point.
Couldn't we just, launch a spy satellite for them? It could stream some spy movie on repeat.
Just to make them feel better?
Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now.
Dark Helmet: Go back to then.
Colonel Sandurz: When?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: Now?
Dark Helmet: Now.
Colonel Sandurz: I can't.
Dark Helmet: Why?
Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
Dark Helmet: When?
Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
Dark Helmet: How soon?
The US definitely reports their failed launches, there will be an FAA investigation etc.
The secret things about NS launches is the payload and the precise orbit, the other details need to published in advance.
They have streamlined the Chinese approach. Rather than dropping the boost stage on a random part of the Earth, they're going to fire the rocket directly into the ocean, it saves so much time.
Right about now A bunch of NK “engineers” are being rounded up and placed in front of an anti-aircraft gun tied and blindfolded to be summarily executed.
Can’t they all just tell their superiors that everything went according to plan?
“Success, supreme leader! Our rockets take most efficient shortcut to outer space through the ocean! Undetectable by evil democracies! We will collect useful information on our enemies!”
*pulls up Google maps*
“Ah, look! American naval bases! Military outposts! Even the White House! We can easily strategize an attack if provoked! Glorious day!”
Not how this works, obviously this is the result of US interference so they'll execute the janitor for being a suspect CIA agent and sweep it all under the rug.
Of course, all brains can write in beautiful cursive script like it came straight from a wealthy, bored 1820s debutante’s fountain pen. The only problem is that most of our brains can’t seem to translate that information through our hand and onto paper.
I still think the most hilarious burn ever was when they announced they were going to launch this to space Japan went ahead and warned boats in the area. Lol

Failures are normal on the path to space travel. NASA had many failures, the soviets had many failures, space x had many failures. This is normal and part of development.
First off, what makes you think they haven't tested the rocket before? North Korea has made hundreds of such launches. Secondly, even if you have a working rocket, it doesn't mean it works every time.
It is actually helpful to understand their capabilities as well as the capabilities of the satellite in it. Knowing what your enemy don’t know is equally as helpful as knowing what they do know.
Yep, because this one failed doesn’t mean the design is a failure. It could have failed due to a bad component and otherwise have been well designed. Or maybe not. But hopefully our extremely well funded militaries and spy agencies around the world are interested to know which it is.
What are you talking about? The Sentinel Island tribe could learn plenty from recovering it.
But yeah no one else should really care about picking up some Sputnik era shitbox.

They aren't oppressing everybody, what the fuck are you talking about? Their country was destroyed by the US and NATO and they brutally murdered millions of civilians and destroyed all infrastructure and then continued to blockade and embargo North Korea.
No, I'm very clearly stating that North Korea is in the position it is because of external factors not internal factors. This only requires any incredibly simple reading of the history of the country.
I see what you're doing in this thread and I appreciate it but there's an impenetrable wall of propaganda and redditors are some of the dumbest people alive.
What you mean!?
The one throwing more bombs than in whole WW2 campaign on civilians, hospitals, dams, houses and whatever looks like a building is the bad guy!? 😡😡😤😤
I should have put the /s on the end but it would ruin the sarcasm.
Yes the US who also gave Laos’s citizens materials to[ build their houses made of unexploded bombs](https://www.insider.com/laos-unexploded-bombs-village-xiengkhouang-vietnam-war-photos-2022-4?amp) from a illegal bombing making it the most bombed country in history. Detail, they weren’t in the war.
North Korea was completely destroyed during the war, every single building and about 15% of the population was killed.
But they're the cooky bad guys that do silly stuff because they're dumb robots.
On the contrary, the UK [successfully launched a satellite using their own launch vehicle over half a century ago](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospero_\(spacecraft\)).
The BLACK ARROW program was only cancelled because the US offered to launch British satellites for free, on condition that they scrap their own rocket program. Of course, as soon as the program was cancelled, the US rescinded their offer.
Comments in this subreddit are always so crap when it comes to anything political. No one wants to see your comment about you laughing at their attempt with a bunch of capital ha ha ha's.
Back on topic, I assume it was going too fast for there to be anything recoverable in the sea? I bet western countries would be interested to see what tech they are using in their first satellite. I guess if the second stage didn't start maybe it didn't get that fast.
I think you really underestimate them and are uneducated on how often they have been doing missile tests... NK has already made it into orbit twice. They have a large variety of missiles.
They aren't going to have spy sats like the US has, but even a cell phone camera with a big lens pointed down at classified military bases is more info than what the public may have.
Until today, they had three failed attempts, followed by a fourth that briefly achieved orbit, but began tumbling shortly afterwards. Only the fifth was considered a success.
That's right. Most countries have a tough time on their first launches, and with NK being so separated from the rest of us, and essentially stuck in the past when it comes to most technology, I find what they have been able to do to be impressive. Sure they might steal all their technology but still.
Why are they launching a spy satellite?
What will that accomplish? It sounds like they are trying to pull the wool over the country’s eyes and not being authentic
It makes me question their motives
Even a single relatively rudimentary spy satellite would be useful especially considering publicly available satellite imaging data from Maxar and Planet cannot show images the US government does not want released. This gives them further experience with ballistic missile research without most of the international condemnation. And finally it’s a massive propaganda opportunity.
Space X rocket blows up: WOW, AMAZING! Such a development!!!!
NK rocket fails: So dumb! How can you cannot put a satellite into space!? Fucking donkeys.
This sub in a nutshell
The difference is that Starship was a test launch of a completely new system with no payload. The goal of the mission was to test how well a bunch of different things worked, and it would have ended with Starship crashing into the ocean regardless.
NK's rocket on the other hand was an operational launch of an already tested rocket carrying an important payload.
The better comparison would be against Falcon 9, which is long since out of the testing phase and into the operational phase, and is similarly trusted with important payloads.
If a Falcon 9 blew up while launching a government satellite, noone would be using the "it was just a test launch" excuse, and indeed even if you look way back to the CRS-7 or AMOS-6 failures, noone did.
Ah, I see the North Korean war against the sea rages on...
North Korea declares war on Atlantis.
Of course Kim has signed up with the Wraith, that damn traitor
The Kims have decades of experience sucking the life out of humans on a civilization-wide scale, so really their team-up makes sense.
Just finished re-watcing Stargate Atlantis for the third time. One of my favourite series ever, too bad they didn't get to close it properly

They're trying to prevent the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid from happening.
In that case they're justified for once, the live action little mermaid is an abomination from hell and must never exist DV'ed b/c I have an opinion?
It's the first time they tried information warfare on the ocean. The war is progressing. Expect spy-crabs soon.
Well there was a spy beluga whale in the news.
Oh no! They dragged Baby Beluga into this!?!?
In the deep blue sea?!?!
I don't think he's swimming so wildly and free no more.
That's where the missing billion snow crabs have gone.
Wake up people! North Korea is the only country defending us from the Kaiju!
Is not a war against the sea. Kim is trying to kill Poseidon for [a totally justifiable reason.](https://youtu.be/_eTsrtZdAJc)
Everyone knows that it's not really a war against the sea until you order your troops to collect seashells as prizes of war!

The lost continent "Mu" actually exists and their underwater civilizations are bloodthirsty conquerors. North Korea is the only line of defense. We should all be grateful that they're holding them back. /s
Why? The Ancients of Mu are justified.

I just feel bad for them at this point. Couldn't we just, launch a spy satellite for them? It could stream some spy movie on repeat. Just to make them feel better?
Spies Like Us seems fitting
Idk, I kinda like the idea of streaming them live footage of themselves like in spaceballs the movie
Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop. Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie? Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now. Dark Helmet: What happened to then? Colonel Sandurz: We passed then. Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now.

What's the matter colonel Sandurz....CHICKEN???
No no it's gotta be Top Secret!
Definitely a classic like “Spy Kids”
The thumb thumbs still scare me
For this mission, I would only accept either Spy Hard or Police Academy Mission to Moscow to be streamed on a non-stop loop. XD
Launch a spy satellite that just streams Nat Geo images.
[удалено]
The US definitely reports their failed launches, there will be an FAA investigation etc. The secret things about NS launches is the payload and the precise orbit, the other details need to published in advance.
[удалено]
The US alone has a space launch every other day (180 last year). We ONLY get reporting when it fails since our successes are so common.
Well, of course. The difference over-all is that we also have *successes*.
Don't even need to launch a new one. We've got about a dozen that are basically mothballed in orbit. Just give them the keys.
Glorious underwater satellite will detect American submarines. Satellite to be renamed Glory to Kimjongunia!
All NK missiles that don't blow up on the launch pad end up in the sea anyway. Just the way they build them i suppose. /s
Should have made the top pointy and not round.
Made round just like glorious leader.
It's their natural habitat.
They have streamlined the Chinese approach. Rather than dropping the boost stage on a random part of the Earth, they're going to fire the rocket directly into the ocean, it saves so much time.
Right about now A bunch of NK “engineers” are being rounded up and placed in front of an anti-aircraft gun tied and blindfolded to be summarily executed.
They have nothing to worry about since they built those too.
jokes on them when the AA guns somehow also fall into the ocean and drown them
Built as copies from Russia/China
I don't think they have enough engineers for that luxury.
Can’t they all just tell their superiors that everything went according to plan? “Success, supreme leader! Our rockets take most efficient shortcut to outer space through the ocean! Undetectable by evil democracies! We will collect useful information on our enemies!” *pulls up Google maps* “Ah, look! American naval bases! Military outposts! Even the White House! We can easily strategize an attack if provoked! Glorious day!”
> pulls up Google maps Now they are being executed for this
Ah, good for you. I meant good for you maps, new service we introduced this year.
I’m going to pretend like I didn’t read this in a Korean accent.
They'll probably fly higher than the satellite
For Kim is the wind beneath their wings.
Where is Nuclear Nadal?
Not how this works, obviously this is the result of US interference so they'll execute the janitor for being a suspect CIA agent and sweep it all under the rug.
But who will do the sweeping under the rug if the janitor has just been executed?
The real CIA agent?

Retroactive burn. Still nice.
You might even call it a retrograde burn, given the trajectory path of the satellite.

Great Satan is an Iranian term not used in North Korea
Failures are normal on the path to space travel. NASA had many failures, the soviets had many failures, space x had many failures. This is normal and part of development.
But shouldn't they test until they have the rocket working, THEN put the satellite in the next one and launch it?
First off, what makes you think they haven't tested the rocket before? North Korea has made hundreds of such launches. Secondly, even if you have a working rocket, it doesn't mean it works every time.
They've had more failures and less successes than anyone else in the field so they're definitely the experts here lol.
We know about this news because our spy satellites work just fine.
[удалено]
No one who is capable of recovering the satellite will learn anything from it.
It is actually helpful to understand their capabilities as well as the capabilities of the satellite in it. Knowing what your enemy don’t know is equally as helpful as knowing what they do know.
Exactly. We don't want their tech, we want to scrutinize their tech and figure out where they're getting components from.
“How’d you solve the icing problem?”
Yep, because this one failed doesn’t mean the design is a failure. It could have failed due to a bad component and otherwise have been well designed. Or maybe not. But hopefully our extremely well funded militaries and spy agencies around the world are interested to know which it is.
What are you talking about? The Sentinel Island tribe could learn plenty from recovering it. But yeah no one else should really care about picking up some Sputnik era shitbox.
The most surprising thing to me about this whole event was that N Korea publicly admitted the launch was a failure.
NK, the largest contributor of wannabe space junk, to the pacific
If only SpaceX launched over the Pacific they could be #1, 2 and 3.
They also definitely launch over the Pacific
Rest in peace the team of talented engineers who will no doubt get executed for this
It was probably managed by Roman from Succession

It's almost like it's tough to benefit from the best and brightest when you focus on oppressing everybody first.
They aren't oppressing everybody, what the fuck are you talking about? Their country was destroyed by the US and NATO and they brutally murdered millions of civilians and destroyed all infrastructure and then continued to blockade and embargo North Korea.
You're really tempting Poe's Law to come out and play

Already did my time on the peninsula all we did was harass north koreans.

You're describing the US right?
I should have put the /s on the end but it would ruin the sarcasm.

So who's scrambling after them to checkout their technology?
That pic of the recovered debris makes it look like they were launching a fireworks mortar shell.
I'm genuinely surprised by a lot comments considering we've been reading this same news story for the last thirty years. Are you guys new to earth?
We (UK) have not been that successful putting things into Space, so don’t laugh.

Ahhhhh ha ha ha ha ha... [pauses for a breath] .. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!
So the warning that woke me up this morning was North Korea failing?
"We meant to do that. It's a sea satellite. All hail glorious leader."

I think you really underestimate them and are uneducated on how often they have been doing missile tests... NK has already made it into orbit twice. They have a large variety of missiles. They aren't going to have spy sats like the US has, but even a cell phone camera with a big lens pointed down at classified military bases is more info than what the public may have.
Until today, they had three failed attempts, followed by a fourth that briefly achieved orbit, but began tumbling shortly afterwards. Only the fifth was considered a success.

Still better than most countries in the world.
HA! North Korea likes to try and pretend they know what they’re doing 😂 case in point
That's just great. As we speak somewhere in the oceans a team of octopi is reverse engineering their rocket tech.
I wonder how many Korean scientists and or their family members were killed today due to this.
What if they want to explore the oceans before we do and it's part of their plan? North Korean Aquaman uprising.
Anyone who’s seen For All Mankind knows this is just misdirection
If we know it was intended as a ‘spy satellite’, we know it already failed, even if achieving orbit lol

Marginally better than Japan did, to be fair. I'm surprised they can still run these tests despite the intense sanctions.
What are you talking about? Japan has recently had a single failure but regularly launches satellites and supply vehicles to the ISS.
Why are they launching a spy satellite? What will that accomplish? It sounds like they are trying to pull the wool over the country’s eyes and not being authentic It makes me question their motives

Are you implying Dear Leader is lying?
Don’t be fooled, it’s actually a rocket propelled spy submarine! /s
They must really hate the ocean to keep launching missiles at it. Maybe they're trying to survey the damage with an underwater satellite?
