According to disheartening news out of Korea, the country's Aerospace Research Institute is reporting that they've lost contact with its first multipurpose satellite, the Arirang 1. The satellite, which was launched December 21st, 1999, is suspected of having encountered a mechanical malfunction or misalignment which would have affected power generation. "If the satellite loses proper alignment, its solar panels cannot generate power that is vital for the machine," said an "expert" -- which the source material suspiciously won't name -- which further reinforces our belief that the satellite was appropriated by an alien lifeform, for use in a bizarre mating ritual.

They're just saying that so they can use it to spy on us without anyone knowing ;)

Yes yes, a sad loss.
In the meantime we'll just monitor these...unknown signals from...space.
Yeah yeah, space.
"bizarre mating ritual"
Ummmmm?
So THAT'S what it was... My bad!
South Korea should just out-source their satellites to India. They seem to manage themselves quite well.
It was probably actually just a nuke disguised as a satellite and now we'll mysteriously be bombed!
Absurd.

Maybe the ChiComs got at it. They are feverishly pursuing and testing Anti-satellite technology. Could this have been a low key test. You know how the feel about South Korea.
Or even more likely, debris and garbage from blown up Chinese satellites crashed into it.
Stole by The Pirate Bay! A new Torrent tracker! All your base are belong to us!!!
Seriously, Don't these things carry emergency batteries?
hahahhahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahah
Who knew that Korea even HAD satellites?! NOT a comforting thought at all!
are you kiddin? south korea pwns jOO!
I think your misinterpreting the situation. Its North Korea that we should worried about and not the South Korea. Get your facts straight before making fun of asian countries.
Yeah!
