North Korea says its new spy satellite photographed White House, Pentagon
After decades of satellite surveillance by foreign governments and analysts, North Korea has sent its first spy satellite on a global orbit with a message to the world: we can watch you too.
In unrelated news, Google Maps site traffic from North Korea sees odd spike.

I've photographed the White House too, but my tour didn't include the Pentagon.
The satellite itself is not a threat but the rocket that launched it is concerning.
It would be a real shame if some random "debris" knocked it out of orbit. A real shame.
A sattelite is only as good as your ability to maintain it.
We don't need anymore anti satellite missile demonstrations. It makes way too damn much space debris.
Knocking things around in orbit is a terrible idea that only adds to the current near crisis we have with space junk. So yes, it would be a real shame if something messed with the orbit of any satellite, one that could cost hundreds of millions in damages or even loss of life.
Was it China that destroyed a satellite in orbit and everyone got mad because it flung so much shit at other satellites
