North Korea plans to launch its Unha-3 rocket this week despite international pressure. Seem that NK it's saying this rocket it's carrying a satellite. Okay, right no nukes either.

The UN will just do what they do best and just drop sanctions.

Shouldn't you have said, "There are around 23,000,000 of them, ya know."?

I would suggest it was the North Korean that was piloting it....

Well, there is that. ;)

And as far as DPRK rocket science goes, there is this:

North Korea defied international warnings of censure and further isolation on Friday, launching a rocket that the United States and its allies called a provocative pretext for developing an intercontinental ballistic missile that might one day carry a nuclear warhead.

But in what was a major embarrassment to the North and its young new leader, the rocket disintegrated moments after the launching, and American and Japanese officials said its remnants fell harmlessly into the sea.

And so it goes...

Whatever, it's gonna be hard for the NK's to ever again really threaten anybody with a rocket, per se.

lol What a bunch of maloons.

Well NK will tell it's citizens that the rocket was a successful launch. Once again a feast success story for their IO Campaign.

I hear that there is an opening for a very senior position in the NK Space program today.

Duration undetermined, of course.

Anyone here ever see the videos of our rocket disasters, even with complete V2s in hand, along with Von Braun and most of his staff?

If they learn from each failure, and build upon it, they will build a viable system before you might expect.

Unless we deliberately brought it down, and continue to do so.

Our best hope is that they purge the staff after every crash, and fail to learn from their experiences.

And anyone who thinks they are aiming for a space program is seriously deluding themselves.

Once again a feast success story for their IO Campaign.Affirmative; "we showed them but not our whole hand, so we detonated it." TR is correct; wonder how many temp agencies have a solid-fuel guy in their Rolodex? But their people will starve & they'll keep pluggin' at it. Put the chairs back up on the tables till the next time...

Today, the North Koreans announced they were going to attack Seoul in a way "never seen before and in their own style."

The North Koreans say they will reduce Seoul to ashes in 3 or 4 minutes... Not in the next 3 or 4 minutes but, well, you know what I am talking about.

I assume they mean dear leader 2.0 also has the power to control the weather. So far they have got started with digging a deep hole. My only concern is hopefully there is not another over confident NK General that feels like starting a war, just for the sake of showing force for Kim Jong Un. (Artillery on Yeonpyeong)





To my brothers still over there, stay safe...

Korea's too cold to fight in on the ground, the food sucks, and the whole country smells like shit all the time.

I say we get our guys out, then nuke 'em from orbit.:mad:
