The completed Gravity Probe B space vehicle during solar array installation is shown in this undated publicity photograph. The space vehicle is part of NASA (news - web sites) and Stanford University's Gravity Probe B experiment to test Einstein's theory of relativity. The experiment will precisely check tiny changes in the axis of spin of four gyroscopes contained in an Earth satellite orbiting at 400-mile altitude directly over the poles. So free are the gyroscopes from disturbance that they will provide an almost perfect space-time reference system. They will measure how space and time are warped by the presence of the Earth. The probe will be launched from Vandenberg Air Force base in California.

Of course I don't know what they're planning, but if there were to be an invasion, preparations would most likely be noticed. Again, the South doesn't want one so I doubt there'll be one soon.

everyone that knows international relations will tell you that the US will not attack North Korea, despite the human rights abuses.

[MaDuce]

NK is a tricky. There military is considerably stronger and more well disciplined then Iraq. and they could use long artillary to pwn South Korean cities right as the war starts.

Preparations would definately not be noticed right now, because there is an election soon. If Bush wants to get re-elected he's not going to say a word about another war unless **** really starts to hit the fan somewhere.

At least five Palestinians were killed on the second day of an Israeli incursion into Beit Lahia that the army said was aimed at halting rocket attacks on Jewish settlements and southern Israel. The five were shot dead by Israeli troops during clashes, while another 14 Palestinians were wounded when an Israeli helicopter fired two rockets in their direction, medics and witnesses said.

How do you know what the US and other countries are planning?

everyone that knows international relations will tell you that the US will not attack North Korea, despite the human rights abuses.

Japan has warned if the NK's fire another missle across their country, THEY will act.

Given Japan's fearsome reputation, I would not go out of my way to wake the dragon, as it were.

[MolliG]

NK is a tricky. There military is considerably stronger and more well disciplined then Iraq. and they could use long artillary to pwn South Korean cities right as the war starts.
Thousands of North Koreans moving south en-masse, with no idea of how things 'work' in the 'Western/Modern' World, et cetera, is tricky too.

Talking about their name, there's a joke in China. Since their name can be written and read in chinese, we can directly translate his father's name to "f*cking accomplished", and his name to "being f*cking".

I would say that the picture of him kicking it was requested by a media crew, so he obliged.
