    I suspect that this will not be something that makes orbit.  This will
    probably be a medium/long range missile test. NK has used the excuse
    of a satellite launch in the past to disguise tests in the past.
    
    It will be interesting over the next few years to see how N Korea
    plays in space.  They are almost there.  I hope they play well.
