So, all the fuss and alert the other day was for an announced satellite launch.

2 hours ahead, for weather reasons according to some experts

So, there's a missile orbiting the Earth? because Japan's warning systems CLEARLY said a missile had been launched.

It's a problem with Japanese vocabulary being limited to having to use katakana to explain the difference between a rocket launch and missile launch.
Missile launch sounds so much more sinister!

So western countries are allowed to benefit from space technology but NK would not be allowed ?
Nothing is fair in that small world.
As if NK was going to send one missile to attack Japan LOL.

NK already has a satellite in orbit now, prior to this. It's probably a communications satellite so their TV can air that Commie BS propaganda to the NK public.

If it's just orbiting the earth, it must be an ordinary satellite, not a reconnaissance satellite. Eventually, though, North Korea is sure to perfect the know-how of launching a spy satellite.
