North Korea was injecting fuel into a long-range rocket “as we speak”, the head of the North Korean satellite control centre said on Wednesday ahead of a launch condemned by its neighbours and the West.

“I think the fuel injection will be completed at an appropriate date,” Paek Chang-ho, head of the satellite control centre of the Korean Committee of Space Technology, told a group of foreign journalists.

He would not comment on when the fuel injection would be complete. “And as for the exact timing of the launch, it will be decided by my superiors”, Paek said.

Regional powers said the launch, due sometime between Thursday and next Monday, is a disguised test of the North’s long-range missile. The North says it is merely putting a weather satellite into space.

North Korea's long range rocket launch is provocative action!!!!

If it's provocative action why is there no similar outcry when another country does likewise?

Why are we so paranoid with NORTH KOREA. The rocket they are launching pales in comparison to the TOMAHAWK missile with a nuclear warhead.

Because we need an enemy - not because they are dangerous.

You guys may be making a hasty judgment. Provocative has more than one definition. Could it be that powerfulguy has a rocket fetish? I mean, it fits his nickname and everything. :sneaky:

was watching it on Tv the other week . They are quite proud of their rocket and allowed foreign reporters in to see it .
