North Korea Missle Test Thread

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

You forgot the rocket is basically a modified version of soviet rockets. Nothing really groundbreaking here.

Send the F-111 to intercept

We no longer have F-111s Super Hornets have replaced it till we get F-35.

While you have a point, neither of those countries spent half of their national budget to finance a missile launch, especially with most of their people subsisting on foreign aid. So I wouldn't quite go as far as to describe it as impressive.

Hey, one of their Taepodong-2's splashed down after 40-something seconds. 90 seconds is great success!

Since when are attempts impressive?

I'm dying to know how far the rocket traveled from the launch site. any rocket scientist here?

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

Typical aussies everything comes down to an erection problem

Well the new leader's manhood has now come into question. He couldn't get his rocket up.

Failure in the US and the SU (post stalin) wasn't punished by imprisonment or death nor was it carried out when most of the population was severely malnourished.

He's not exactly a man. Looks like he doesn't even shave yet...

no- he's so evolved that he doesn't need facial hair

No way to tell how far it traveled yet. Would need to know it's trajectory, speed, rate of acceleration, stuff like that. I'm a bit of a rocket hobbyist myself.

One thing guys its still to early to celebrate, remember this rocket is based on the old Taepodong-2 missile, in such no modern changes or advances. The North may have been planning that the test would fail and why they have the new third generation rocket that was recently spotted by intel sats outside the capital that is expected to be showcased this week, they will likely now announce they are moving past the primitive space launcher with the new advanced test platform that we will soon be launched.

I am going for the HAARP theory! Anyone with me?

If you wanted to soft-kill it, there are a whole bunch of AEGIS ships in the area. SPY can throw out a hell of a signal if you crank it up.

Wow someone's in the gulag by now.
