No threads about North Korea's rocket launch failure today???
From CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/12/world/asia/north-korea-launch/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
Pyongyang, North Korea (CNN) -- Defying warnings from the international community, North Korea launched a long-range rocket on Friday, but it appears to have broken apart before escaping the earth's atmosphere, officials said.
No element of the rocket reached space, said a U.S. official, who based that conclusion on data collected by the United States from its first few moments aloft.
The failure was corroborated by a South Korean official, South Korea's Yonhap News reported.
The U.N. Security Council will meet Friday on the launch, two U.N. diplomats and a U.S. official told CNN.

Apparently it did make to a quick dive into the sea. Richard Engle is saying the first stage probably failed after a minute or so (on MSNBC).

It would be news if they did 
We launched Redstone on first try...
Oh and mercury was flawless...
He was always a great DUer.
I am fucking upset now. I can't believe he is not on DU now.
I must have missed the tweet.
That said, international anything is rarely hot round these parts.
At least none is claiming we're still in Iraq after we killed the king...don't ask.
