South Koreans watch live footage of South Korea's third attempt of a rocket launch on a television set at a railway station in Seoul on January 30, 2013 as the 140-tonne Korea Space Launch Vehicle (KSLV-I) blasted off at 4:00 pm (0700 GMT) from the Naro Space Center on the south coast. South Korea launched a rocket on January 30 in its third bid to put a satellite in orbit -- a high-stakes challenge to national pride after rival North Korea succeeded in the same mission last month.
