Ahaka hahaha na-typo error ra siguro na sa TS mga brad...hehe

let us just hope that NOkor rocket launch will be delayed kay nagkaproblema sa technical side,call it divine intervention.

This is again a prime example of people not understanding what they are saying and pataka lang ug iStorya. Would you rather have a plague-ridden launch, unya tungod sa malfunction mahulog ang rocket dyud sa populated areas in the Philippines? So it's actually better that we hope everything GOES WELL, because this is (as NOKOR reported) an orbital launch, and as such, sa LEO (low-earth orbit) ang destination, and the discarded stages of the rocket have known impact points that will NOT harm populated areas. Which means, if all goes well, you guys won't even notice nga naa na diay sa orbit ang NOKOR satellite.

Again, think before you post.

If this rocket strays off its path and damages any Philippine ecological and tangible assets, we have all the reason to declare a 'state of war' with them.

North Korea warns other nations: intercept of rocket is an act of war
06-Apr-12, 10:05 PM | PNA/Yonhap


SEOUL - North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has ratcheted up his regime's militaristic rhetoric as Pyongyang threatened to retaliate against any country that intercepts a North Korean rocket booster or collects the rocket debris.

The North has vowed to launch a rocket sometime between April 12 and 16 to put an earth observation satellite into orbit, a move widely seen as a pretext to disguise a banned test of its ballistic missile technology.

The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea in Pyongyang warned that interception of the satellite would be "an act of war" and would cause a tremendous catastrophe.

Whoever "intercepts the satellite or collects its debris will meet immediate, resolute and merciless punishment" from the North, the committee said in an English-language statement carried by its Korean Central News Agency late Thursday.

The warning came days after South Korea said it was exploring measures to intercept the rocket booster in case it veers off its trajectory. Japan has also ordered its troops to shoot down the rocket if there is concern it or parts of it could land on Japan.

South Korea expects the rocket's first-stage booster to land in international waters, some 170 kilometers south of its southwestern city of Gunsan, before the rocket's second stage booster falls east of the Philippines.

The North has said it chose a safe flight path to ensure carrier rocket debris jettisoned during the flight will not impact on neighboring countries.

The statement also warned South Korea against any provocation, noting any attack by Seoul on Pyongyang would mean the "end of everything in South Korea."

South Korea is within striking distance of North Korea's missiles. Seoul, the South Korean capital city of more than 10 million people, is also within range of North Korea's conventional artillery.

North Korea "will mete out the unimaginable and the most miserable punishment to its rival if it dares fire into the sky above the (North), Pyongyang, in particular," the statement said.

The North's threat came after South Korea vowed it would attack the North's capital in retaliation if the communist country strikes Seoul.

South Korea has set up a policy of t*t-for-tat retaliation in dealing with possible aggression by the North against Seoul and adjacent areas.

South Korea came under public fire for its weak response to the North's deadly shelling of a South Korean western border island in November 2010.

Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim has also ordered his troops to bury the nation's enemies at sea if they "dare intrude into the territorial waters" of the North. Kim made the comment during his inspection trip to a navy unit that seized a U.S. spy ship, Pueblo, in 1968, the KCNA said in a dispatch on Friday.

Kim, who took over the country following his father Kim Jong-il's death in December, issued the same order during a separate tour to an islet on the east coast in recent days.

Kim "set forth the tasks for rounding off combat preparations and bolstering the combat capability," the dispatch said.

Now tell me why flying a rocket above another country's territorial airspace is not an act of war? They are violating the territorial sovereignty of the nations where the rocket is expected to pass through. How dare they proclaim that Japan and South Korea do not intercept the rocket when it basically passes through their airspace? It is the responsibility of their military to bring down foreign ballistic rockets from passing through their airspace. That's a simple rule.

If we look at the real score, the rocket's debris may damage marine life on the area to where it would fall. Apart from the threat of it possibly falling into Philippine urban areas.

A) In legal circles, there is a saying, "Innocent until proven guilty." NOKOR made an international declaration--this is an ORBITAL flight. As such, there is no AIM to impact a warhead on ANY other country. So the rule of thumb is just to wait, and if it turns out lahi ang intent sa launch, then THAT is the time when you should act, because we are trying to hold them accountable for their intent.

B) If what you're saying is correct, then dapat ALL rocket launches should be banned--for example, do you know how much FISH and MARINE LIFE is killed due to the impact of the Space Shuttles Reusable Solid Rocket boosters each time there is a Shuttle Launch? Actually it's negligible too, but the point I'm driving at, is for you to see how RIDICULOUS your claim is that the expended stages of the Unha-3 will "damage" our marine ecosystem. Mas dako pa ang damage sa atong marine life due to ILLEGAL LOGGING than a miniscule impact (AGAIN, DATA, DATA and DATA).

Unless you describe to me, in detail, how the Unha-3 launch will progress (better if you use a simulation like Orbiter), then you have absolutely NO BASIS for whatever type of rabble-rousing you are causing in this thread. Puros lang UNFOUNDED SPECULATION.

Again? Nokor is kulang sa pansin....

its better we have to wait unsay after effects ani ilang rocket launch .wait and see attitude na lang sa ko ani..and pray..

They also have the right for a technological advancement wither in the field of military or communications. Ang uban bitaw country magpalupad sa ilang satellite wa may moalma...excited pa nuon kaayo ang uban magtan-aw. Tungod kay bugoy ang NoKor wa na sila'y katungod mobutang ug satellite. The accused is innocent until proven guilty. Let's see what will happen after their successful launch and no problems will pop-out along the launching of the satellite para way casualties or gamay ra.

Dili man sad siguro tungod bugoy sila maong ni alma ang other countries bro.......the point of US and PnoyOpaw was that......rather than spending their money on a space satellite, they should spend it on their people.....thousands if not millions are dying in hunger in North Korea.... That is why last month i think....USA made a deal with North Korea.....that the USA will send Food Aid to the people of North Korea in exchange for a proper conduct of its government(no developing of nuclear warheads, no ballistic missile launch...etc...)....Over the years, North Korea has had the same the test, but all were failures(although they claim it to be succesful)....

The point is, the people of North Korea needs the money more, to buy food....rather than see a satellite in the space named after their leader.....
