North Korea now has 2 satellites that pass over the U.S.

[Daca102090]

Just came across this article posted 2 days ago that states North Korea now has 2 satellites in orbit that pass over the U.S.
Apparently at this time the U.S. is claiming that they are unsure of the payload contents of these.

I betcha they will develop some kind of catastrophic failure very soon.

Well, looks like this was removed from the source site.
Searched several times and nothing.

Some of what caught my eye was the claim that N. Korea launched a satellite back in 2012 which passes over the U.S. and they launched a second one this last February which also passes over the U.S.

The 2012 object, well who knows, but the recent launch could well be more tactical than the first trial launch.

These are the 2 N Korean satellites. It shows the position or the suggested position of its orbit.

ok... let's all take a deep breath here...

from what I have read, it/they are not sync orbit sats. meaning that they are not hovering over the US. they are fixed in space, and the US passes under them every time this flat earth of ours flips over like a pancake on a griddle.

From my extensive geography research, these sats also orbit directly over N Korea.

So before you drop the paranoia wagon, think how many sats the USA has over it's homeland, that also pass over NK?

but this is all cool. as we, in Canada, are sitting back eating our beaver tails, training our attack moose, while drinking our Canadian beer and saying 'eh' a lot.

You folk should seriously consider the first 'manned' satellite and blast Hillary off into space.

jus' saying!

I don't see it as a big deal. We have far bigger threats than n Korea.
Most of them are right here now, inside our borders.

This might sound bad, but I can think of worse things than N. Korea nuking D.C.
