Turns out they were not lying about that in regards to their missile test today, and this time was a complete success. The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, later confirmed that North Korea did appear to have put an object into space that was later confirmed to be a satellite that is currently in orbit.
All nations had their fair share of failures before they achieved success and the North Koreans now have a Satellite in space that is ready to EMP North America on 12/21/12 =]

Congratulations North Korea. You've reached the pinnacle of 1960's technology. Now why don't you focus on feeding your starving people for a change.
