- andrewcsayer, on 01/07/2008, -1/+25Strange. The Koreans don't usually ***** this sort of stuff up.
- inactive, on 01/07/2008, -6/+28Arirang 1 requires more vespene gas
- MikeonTV, on 01/07/2008, -7/+27To quote the great Nelson Muntz "ha ha"!
- Rhendal, on 01/07/2008, -1/+19I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. *****, I always do that, I always mess up some mundane detail!
- Emused, on 01/07/2008, -5/+21The South Koreans are quite industrious.They just need an excuse to go out there and fix it.And maybe build a convenience store.
- modernhumorist, on 01/07/2008, -1/+13Pretty sure It's the "Alien 1" -- Arirang is just what the reporter heard.
- pinab, on 01/07/2008, -2/+14maybe the chinese destroyed it
I'm playing devil's advocate here - thcobbs, on 01/07/2008, -0/+12Space is a TOUGH venue.
- darkphenox, on 01/07/2008, -1/+13If thats the case, they have at least 100 000 Generals to lead the defence army.
- scabbers, on 01/07/2008, -3/+13Laugh it up, but it was NASA who ploughed a probe into mars because they ***** up the unit of measurement.
- elhaf, on 01/07/2008, -1/+11I bought a Hyundai the first year of production. Same thing happened.
- chedabob, on 01/07/2008, -1/+9That joke went so far over your head it actually flew past the damn satellite.
- thcobbs, on 01/07/2008, -1/+9Yeah, but they only need Ender.
- mwdcodeninja, on 01/07/2008, -1/+9Maybe it will come back... and it will be the BoomArirang 1.
- CrackyJSquirrel, on 01/07/2008, -0/+7Yeah, but at least they knew where it was, and what it was plowing into.. :/
- mercano, on 01/07/2008, -0/+7Civ III teaches us that the Koreans are Scientific and Commercial, but not necessarily Industrious.
- Mockylock, on 01/07/2008, -4/+11It's RONEriee... soooo RoneRieee.
- MontyHaul, on 01/07/2008, -1/+7You've never driven a Hyundai Pony.
- troydoogle7, on 01/07/2008, -2/+8Me thinks that the George Bush did it..... He seems to do everything nowadays......even when he doesn't do it. And sometimes when he doesn't do it, he still gets criticised for it. Ho hum I miss the daily show
- inactive, on 01/07/2008, -0/+6no. its just plain engrish. spoken by most east asians.
- Zeonix, on 01/07/2008, -0/+6And then landed rovers on said planet.
- crapmatic, on 01/07/2008, -0/+6Good god, there are some really stupid comments getting dugg up. This place is turning into Fark.
- zxjams, on 01/07/2008, -0/+6L and R are allophones of a single phoneme in Korean, and are represented by only one letter. It only sounds like L at the ends of syllables. Sometimes.
/phonological rant - bamafun, on 01/07/2008, -3/+8ok i will play devil's advocate too = maybe another country destroyed it because they thought they were using it as a spy tool?
- blackmage439, on 01/07/2008, -2/+6EPIC FAILURE
- elcaminos, on 01/07/2008, -5/+9Poor Alilang....
- ICSU, on 01/07/2008, -0/+4Did the last video show a giant ant?
- creep303, on 01/07/2008, -0/+4I for one welcom.......ah forget it.
- robertgoodwin, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3You lost it?
- TheWindBlows, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3blackwater?
- saleem, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3it's not uncommon to lose one of your 'first' types of satellites, after 10 years in space... quite possible there was some mechanical failure(s) after so long
- OneLess, on 01/08/2008, -0/+3The Koreans don't usually ***** up their first satellite launches? What's your point of reference?
- Exhumist, on 01/07/2008, -2/+5It's hard to believe that the country that brought us the Kia Spectra is having problems launching Satellites!?
It's not like it's Rocket Science... - inactive, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3"wow their first attempt is 100% perfect. i must be better than them".
losers - sosurim, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3Hahaha! One of the funniest posts I read today. I'm Korean who at point played way too much Starcraft. Dugg!
- damndj, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3It's really a tracking satellite to make sure the Gold Farmers are where they need to be.
- jhshukla, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2FTA: ... said an "expert" -- which the source material suspiciously won't name ...
link to source? citation at least? engadget brings up good stories but it's getting more and more like blogs and without any source to back it up. buried due to lack of substantial info. - igob8a, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2They didn't execute their Zerg rush fast enough kekeke
- daliminator, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2And...what company would that be? I don't think Hundai/Kia's launched a satellite...yet.
- MacParrot, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Two things:
1: There's a reply button that actually lets you make relevent comments directly below the person who's comment you're...um...commenting on.
2: Like American politics, it's a joke. Get over it...BECAUSE
Over? Nothing's over until WE say it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Hell no!
(Germans? Forget it, he's rolling)
Trying that joke for the second time today. - Orion682, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Actually that was a 3rd party contractor hired by NASA responsible for that ***** up...
GO OUTSOURCING! - peterinjapan, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3Metapp, you are a bit of an idiot. It is, as far as this Japanese-bilingual white guy knows, a Japanese issue that causes that the R and the L to be confused, since there is only one ra-re-ru-re-ro sound in Japanese (makes reporting on the recent election a real bitch). You have extrapolated this unique Japanese phonetic quirk to Korea (and since you're an idiot, you probably think China is the same). You probably think that the Great Wall of China is in Japan or wonder (as a person I knew once really said), "Does the year have 365 days in Japan, too?" Welcome to the temple of douchebaggery.
- fixedcoma, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2Or maybe they are just pretending they lost it to leave it dormant until it's next mission is to take place! Probably tracking all our satellites and stuff!
- daliminator, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Yep - I'm Korean and this is definitely true. It's not just Japanese, but thanks for trying to stick up for us =P
- zxjams, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2In Korean, R and L are the same phoneme (letter). It only sounds like L at the ends of words.
So it's the same process as in Japanese, but has to allow for consonants at the end of a syllable. Korean isn't restricted to CV syllables like Japanese is.
You are welcome in the temple anytime, brother! -
