Skorea launched first rocket at last http://current-world-affairs.blogspot.com/2009/... South Korea has launched its first rocket into space today after several launch attempts due to various reasons.

Just after the launch, North Korea said that the country will keep a close eye on the international response to Seoul launch. The rocket lifted off from the country's space center on Oenaro Island, about 290 miles (465 kilometers) south of Seoul, around 5 p.m. (0800 GMT, 4 a.m. EDT).
