Thread: North Korea Missle Test Thread

    Anybody with enough knowledge about rocketry to suggest how long it should've stayed up before it reached the international water? I wonder if there will be any fuss by China if US tried to recover it? although s Korean navy will probably lead the recovery effort, if there ever is one...

    i suddenly remember a TV show where a guy from future time travels into past, specifically WW2, and blows up a German V2 (or something like it) as it is launched in a test. It was blown up with a small laser pistol... gawd, can't remember what tv show it was...

    Impotent North Korean rocket has prematurely failed. They couldnt keep it on the right erect flight path.

    No reason to bash NK too much on this failed launch, how many rockets did it take the US or the USSR before they were finally succesfull, and how many did fail even after that? If we weren't against the regime we probably could admit that it was an impressive attempt for a tiny nation like NK

    There are other books/articles about life in labor camps in N Korea, but this one is crazy.

    Some Japanese media reporting that it stayed up for a minute before it fell apart.
