South
Korea aborted its first domestic launch of a rocket just
minutes before scheduled liftoff because of a technical problem,
delaying space ambitions that have threatened to anger rival North
Korea.
The
rocket was to have shot into space 4 months after North Korea
was widely criticized for firing its own rocket in defiance of United
Nations sanctions. The North said it would keep a close eye on the
international response to Seoul's rocket launch.
