[FPSPACE] NK launch....a recollection of 1998

[James Oberg]

You consider that evidence? Sure, we can count on
a country's stamps to convey an honest version of
reality, that's been our experience over the past
century or so... [irony mode -- OFF].

Peter, it's just the kind of camouflage they could expect to be
effective, and you've provided an excellent example confirming
their expectation...

As I said, it's a crazy idea. The longer it goes without serious
counter-evidence, however, the less and less crazy it seems...

  JimO,

   

  Just so that you know-the NK actually issued a special commemorative stamp sheet commemorating the launching of the satellite in 1998.  I have seen it.  It actually depicts the third stage and the satellite.

   

  Even if one subscribes to the viewpoint that the NK government is lacking good judgement, or lacks scruples, I rather doubt that the stamp sheet would have been issued had there not been intent to launch a satellite back in 1998.  All stamp issuances have to be planned in advance by a certain amount of time.
