N. Korea vows to launch more long-range rockets
North Korea vowed Tuesday to further launch what it claims to be satellites into space as it marked the first anniversary of firing off a long-range rocket in defiance of international condemnation.
Some of them might actually fly a long range, too...
The successful launch of North Korea's satellite, named "Kwangmyongsong-4," in 2016 confirmed the country as a space program powerhouse, according to the Rodong Sinmun, the North's main newspaper.

The placing of the satellite into orbit was viewed by outside experts as Pyongyang's effort to test its long-range ballistic missile technology. In December 2012, Pyongyang also fired-off a long-range rocket.

"We will launch more satellites at the time and in the place decided by the Workers' Party of Korea," the newspaper said.

North Korean leader Fat Boy Kim Jong-un said in his New Year's address that the country has entered the final stage of test-firing an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
