SKorea postpones first rocket launch

South Korea Wednesday postponed the launch of its first space rocket minutes before the scheduled blast-off and began dumping its fuel, live TV coverage showed.

The launch was scheduled for 5 pm (0800 GMT) but pictures from the space centre showed the countdown stopping just eight minutes beforehand.

The Korea Space Launch Vehicle-1 was seen being reattached to the launch pad.
