Preliminary reports say NK rocket failed. Details from Pentagon indicate that...

...as soon as the rocket left North Korean airspace, it requested asylum and a hot meal and was detonated by ground control. The loss of the IPod Nano onboard is expected to be a major setback to the North Korean satellite program.

More information as it becomes available.

4. Damn either you are psychic

Or who's your source? Missile did indeed break up after launch.

5. LOL! Definitely not psychic. I went in with the assumption that the US would be giving 0-delay...

...updates to the South Korean government, Yonhap, and about three dozen other places all real-time. I don't know of another time when information gleaned from our intelligence sources has been so quickly turned around and disseminated but I figured if there was, this would be it.

I had a bunch of Twitter feeds and stuff open and once I saw 3 different sources reporting a malfunction (not retweets, for instance) and attributing the information directly to US sources, I assumed it really was right from the horses mouth.

It'll probably be a while until the next time you get real-time updates on a situation like that.

But in this case it made sense.
