Those photo's look more like a case of "Oh hells ,we forgot to set up a mission control for the media ,quick knock one up from any spare office stuff we've got laying around before they get here"...

Have they even figured out how to get the medium range missiles working yet?

They can't even hit Japan much less reach escape velocity.

Propaganda for Kim Jongs fat-assed little class skipping Napoleon.

He has to prove to daddy China he hates the west as much as daddy did. Or else they will take his power away in the UN, by actually voting against them for once.

I will bet he will "ramp down" his rhetoric (bullcrap) when the US taxpayer sends him food, like we always did with daddy Kim.

Yeah, the circle of life repeats itself.

I think they'll have better luck at catching fish with that rocket than I have with anything in my tackle box. :stare:

Generally speaking reaching escape velocity is not desired in launching a satellite intended to orbit the earth. :)

Nah. They need to reach escape velocity so that their satellite will escape our tracking radars. :yep:

I just noticed ,why have they planted bushes around the base of the launch pad? ,or are they NK snipers in ghille suits at attention ready to shoot any nosy capitalist media that get too close?

Attention! All servants of The People's Volunteer Space Program! If the mission is successful you will be rewarded with two rice balls and a photograph of our new Dear Leader. If the mission fails you will be executed. That is all.

Eyes down and your first number for any line....

Hrm. Maybe not:

Well, it's launched...the question is in how many pieces... :haha:

Yes, Seoul, Japan and the US confirm that it flared and broke up 90 seconds after launch. That's an improvement on their usual standards I suppose... XD

Quoting myself would prove me a douchbag. Well I am aren't I... Yeah.

So I will just point to my previous post in this thread, done before the rocket crumbled and say...

Told ya so...

I have more respect for Iran than that joke of a country, at least Iran relies less on China to prop it up for the world community.

Nelson (school bully) from the Simpsons comes to mind.
