That's right ladies and gentlemen North Korea is about launch another satellite masquerading as a missile. As you can see from the diagram it is quite the technological marvel. It might even cause a serve bruise or a hangnail.
North Korea is to launch a long-range rocket later this month in a move likely to heighten tensions with Washington, Tokyo and Seoul, ahead of the South Korean presidential election.
The official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said on Saturday that a rocket carrying an Earth observation satellite would be launched from its north-west coastal space centre between 10 and 22 December.
The launch will take place around the time of South Korea's presidential elections on 19 December.
It will be the country's second attempt to launch a rocket since Kim Jong-un came to power nearly a year ago, following his father Kim Jong-il's death. A rocket launch in April was aborted but drew condemnation from Washington and Seoul.
