Well, they did it at 0230 GMT (11:30 AM in Tokyo) on Sunday, 5April09. The Taepodong-2 (also known as Unha-2) missile dropped the first stage in the Japan Sea less than 100 miles from Akita, flew over Northern Honshu, discharged the second stage (and probably rest of the payload) less than 1000 miles from Japan in the Pacific Ocean, far short of the mission plan, on a trajectory for Hawaii, yikes...but, alas, after signals of possible early success, the satellite, if there was one, FAILED to reach orbit.
