North Korea's Satellite Launch Marks a New Era of Space Power

TL;DR Summary
North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un celebrated the successful launch of a spy satellite, calling it a "new era of space power" and a "full-fledged exercise in self-defense." The satellite, named "Malligyong-1," is believed to give North Korea the capacity to monitor the movement of US and South Korean troops and weapons on the Korean Peninsula. The launch has been condemned by the UN and other countries, and South Korea has partially suspended a military accord with the North.
