    okay so what if their launch was a failure? they are allowed to try and fail. they might learn from this and launch again and have something useful.

    Why is North Korea condemned for doing absolutely normal activities every state engages in?

      Because launching satellites is very similar technology to launching ICBMs. They have a nuclear program and are trying to miniaturize their bomb to fit on the missile. Developing ICBMs would not be great for world peace, although China would probably tell them to sit down and be quiet.
