    Their current satellite is non functional so anything they launch will likely just be space junk

        No one from around the world has been able to pick up any signals from the satellite. It is nonfunctional

          So the western news went - North Korea launched a completely non functional and useless satellite and for some reason we object to that.

            Space junk is pollution, it’s bad for scientists who study space as well as space photographers, and it’s extremely dangerous for astronauts. I don’t know why we wouldn’t object to this.
