[FPSPACE] NASA "Recognizes" Phony NorKorean Satellite as Real?

[John]

JimO, you may be right (except for calling all of NASA weakminded).  
Charts and tables such as these, on NASA and others' websites, are  
usually maintained by contractors with civil servant oversight as part  
of much larger tasks. Sometimes they are not as highly attuned to the  
details as we might be.

But don't assume "NASA" is a monolith, or that the NASA Administrator  
reviews every change to every webpage.
